Any idea which all school go for K roll back ground check??
Specifically does Simon, Kelley ask for a beck ground check??
Since I have not informed my current HR about my future MBA plans...

They'll ask you for help getting in touch with someone at your job. I had a similar situation when they had some trouble reaching someone at one of my part-time jobs, so I got an email asking me to have someone from there contact the Kroll rep.

My guess is they'd want to verify that the company exists and that it does what you claim it does, at the scale you say it does, probably by asking to talk to a client or supplier or something. Or they may want to see some sort of tax records, receipts, or sales records, something like that.

Don't worry, you're not the first small business owner to apply to business school, I'm sure Kroll and the schools know how to get the information they need.

Guys... have a quick Q. I do not remeber the exact details of my promotions, I work for a small company and all this information is blurred... My application asks for specific dates for each position I held... I have a similar problem with my previous organization. Which was almost 6 years ago. Any thoughts on how I could handle this?

Well, i am applying to Berkeley Haas EWMBA and they say that create a new section for each postion held, even if within the same company.... I have a general idea, so not sure what to do

I did some reading on this lastnight and I believe they ask for past an current. They do not say why the check is being performed but they need to verify your past. Should be pretty painless.

Guys, I have a strage dilemma. My HR system uses a title that is different form what we use in public. The HR system is just some old system and has no real world relevance, but that is what is officially stored.

What do I do?

Havent heard of either doing a check. I do know that Simon may check out things themselves ie call references etc. That was stated in an adcom blog post on the website....im sure you can google it

Neither school has an official check like kroll or revera

Well for my KRoll check, I had to fax over an HBS form which KRoll then faxed to my HR department with a request for information. I'm in a big company so the corporate HR isn't that connected to my functional HR group so I doubt they would see it although in my case it didn't matter since my work knows of my plans and supports my decision to go back to school.

ok guys, i called and i have some not so good (for me at least) news.

when they call, they say "this is kroll calling on behalf of our client, columbia business school" or whatever business school. Ahhhhhhh...this is not what the kroll rep told me a month ago! the woman on the phone was really nice and told me to inform my boss since its been almost a month since i submitted the release form. she couldn't tell me anything else.

i called columbia and they said, "if you don't hear anything for awhile, thats a good sign".
