What should be inculded in a curriculum vitae for entering a biology graduate program?

I am applying for an environmental science master's program. My curriculum vitae was requested. I am having a hard time knowing what to include. It seems all the examples that I have searched are for people applying for academic positions, not trying to get in. I know I should include personal information, educational background and goals. What else should be added?

1. Start with your education - all institutions attended, including high school, degree and year earned. Include any relevant job experience - internships, teaching assistant in college, summer jobs related to your field, etc. List any and all publications, conference papers, talks, or posters, or invited talks. Have a section for any awards you won and any professional organizations you belong to. I usually include a section called 'relevant coursework'.
