MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Quick question about general applications.
When filling out the application there's usually a page for work experience, even though you will have it included on your resume, along with all of your achievements, etc. and also may have discussed it in some of your essays.
When this section of the app comes up and asks for a description of past position are they asking for like a two sentence summary, two paragraph summary, relist achievements in resume, etc? Really have no idea the depth they're wanting applicants to go.
I have heard some people say in the past that they spend hours upon hours creating their applications after they had written their essays. I don't see how this is possible and feel like I'm missing something. I have my essays done, I always keep my resume updated, and feel like I could finish the application for each school in under an hour.

StoneOneFour - here, focus on providing a job scope statement. The depth and breadth of your involvement at each organization, areas of responsibility, budgets, # of direct and/or indirect reports. On the resume, there's a greater focus on accomplishments than this kind of thing (here more like what is the job - resume, show you did it well.)
I did a ding analysis yesterday where I had the resume, essays and application and I still couldn't tell you what he does/did. And I have an IQ of 139. So I think it's good they give multiple opportunities here. Candidates think they are being clear, but unable to step outside their world and see if from the outside. It's a massive problem.
So many of my clients come to me thinking their essays just needed polishing or minor changes but no, the content is fundamentally unpersuasive, uninteresting or incomprehensible, and thank god they reached out to me or they would have been dinged. Seriously. It's very difficult to be objective about your own materials. Literally zero people have come to me with their materials in proper order, where I was like ok good to go. So I do think you have reason to feel like you're missing something.
It would be wise to have someone review your materials and provide feedback, and decide from there if everything is ready.
