Hello PavlovianCondition, just to explain, I never misunderstood the nature of your question. I provided a single scenario in which you should be concerned about the background screen process. If that scenario does not apply, you should not be concerned at all and certainly not stay in your current job for longer than you wish.
As for one last advice, as an admitted student, you should have access to a dedicated admissions officer at Booth. I have been asking mine all kinds of questions, and he is always helpful and willing to answer. If you truly are concerned and wish for an answer, I advise you to contact your admission officer directly rather than reading any forum's speculative answer. As I mentioned, I do not believe we students will be contacted for anything regarding the background screening except for that one scenario, which does not apply to you. Again I hope this helps!

I wouldn't let the formality of background check keep you at your job longer than you want to be. You being at your employer is irrelevant to the process. You might be exercising too much caution to the detriment of your summer vacation. If you can afford to take more time off then do so. I left my employer a couple of weeks ago and I know others who left more than a month before I did. You know you want to join us in the wonderful world of funemployment.
