If they really need information, they will find it--either by asking the manager for the name of someone who would know, or by asking you for another contact. I can guarantee that you're not the first consultant who's gone through this process in the past.

Check stuff on your resume, your graduation date and GPA etc., court records, pull a credit report - pretty standard stuff really.
Most large employers already do this for all new hires.

ha ha. they will have a problem at some companies. If they rang up anyone from my company asking for that information they would be told they can't give out personal details for security reasons.

What about old bench warrants? 5 years ago I got an open container ticket (not in a vehicle, on the sidewalk) but never paid it. I'm pretty sure there is a bench warrant out on me now. I know I was stupid, but I was young and was moving to a new state anyway. Now I am out of the country and will not be able to fly back to the states to take care of the ticket until the summer before the MBA program starts. By then it will be too late, the MBA decisions will be made. Will something like this disqualify me if I get accepted? It would totally suck if I got accepted and then "disqualified" because of a stupid old open container ticket.
By the way, the state where I got the ticket is far far away from where I want to go to school (if that matters).

I may have troubles with the conversions I made from R$ and EUR to USD, but it's something very easy to explain. I also considered somethings like house renting that the bank pays me as salary, but once again very easy to explain. As DJ stated, don't worry, unless it's a big lie

Your credit can reflect the type of person you are in many ways.

Also most schools co sponsor the student loans, so they want to make sure that you are a responsible debtor.

Good question about the credit check because there is nothing on the application that asks you about your credit. How could they reneg on the admission if your credit is bad? You never lied about anything. However, based on the costliness of business school, I understand the concern about credit. If your debt to income ratio is already out of control then how are you going to handle more debt with no income?

Given the fact that most B-school graudates are able to get into a decent job after graduation and the fact that student loan payments dont start until after 6 months post-graduation, I really dont see how a credit score is relevant. Also, international students with bad credit will then get away with it, right? So, how can an admission be rescinded based on credit score. djhouse81 wrote: If your debt to income ratio is already out of control then how are you going to handle more debt with no income?

I agree, it would be strange to be rejected after they check your credit, but the debt to income ratio is a legitimate concern--despite the deferral of your student loan payments until after you graduate. Some people have mortgages, car payments, credit card debt, even college loans to pay off--all at once! How are they going to pay for that when they are going to school full-time, especially with no savings? It would be very difficult to take out a student loan that covers all of that, given the liquidity and credit crises that the market is experiencing--just look at Sallie Mae. Just like there are a few cases of people who blatantly lie on their app and schools rescine their offer as a result; there is probably few borrowers who have atrocious credit to the point that schools must rescind their offer. In the end, I bet schools will try everything to make the financial packages work, as opposed to the fraudulent applicants who are kicked to the curb.

I dont think there is any reason to worry about this Kroll stuff
they just want to check whether you are what you say are
did you do thejobs you claimed? did you get approx the same salaries you put in your forms? are your recommenders genuine? stuff like this... i'm sure they wouldnt be counting pennies

I was always curious about the guy above who asked about the bench warrant. I dont have one, but I was always wonder what the deal is with the disclosure of that kinda stuff. Will admitting it and writing it on the app put you in a better position? Will they deny you based on that stuff? (Assuming its a misdemeanor, like that guys bench warrant or something else minor)

Prior to graduating from undergrad in Dec '05, I spent a semester abroad. Five to six months after I graduated, I worked at my parents' business. I secured a job that was supposed to start May '06, so instead of bumming around or traveling, I decided to help run my family business, and in return my parents helped pay off my expenses I incurred abroad, school loans and a down payment on a car. Long story short, I was never on their payroll, but there's no doubt I worked for them full time. My question is, would I have to explain this prior to submitting my information with Kroll?

Long story short, I was never on their payroll, but there's no doubt I worked for them full time. My question is, would I have to explain this prior to submitting my information with Kroll? I would go one of two ways, 1) do nothing. Your parents will no doubt verify that you worked for them. If you did not put that you had a salary working for your parents, then there is nothing to worry about with not being on the payroll. If you put that you earned the amount that they helped pay off, then your parents might have to verify that. Kroll looks for blatant and gross deception, so as long as you did not say that you earned $100k, when you parents only paid off $50k, there is nothing to worry about. The other option: 2) is to explain the situation to the school to which you were accepted. Once again, if there was no lying, then there will not be a problem. The school will appreciate the clarification, and it will speed up the Kroll check.

Does the procedure works the same for international students? Especially from developing countries?

You don't have to report this, it's not like Kroll is some omnipotent God that knows everything you have ever done. They verify past employment because you tell them who you worked for in your application and resume. They call the companies you listed. There is no DB out there that contains all of your past employment data or anything like that. So if you don't want to mention it, then don't.
