Hi everyone!
I've been reading this forum as I am also applying to CBS.
I wanted to thank everyone for the helpful information and insights into their own experiences. I was dinged by CBS last year and I can really appreciate those who are sharing their stories of being turned down.
An intro:
I am reapplying to CBS this coming year swapping from fall to J term. I'm applying with a 700GMAT and with a background in family business.
I noticed this year that under Extracurricular activities, there is a field called "Description of Involvement". Did anyone get any guidelines on how to answer this? It seems the text box is unlimited and I don't know if they are looking for a paragraph, a few bullet points or something else. If anyone received any guidance on how to answer this section, it would be most appreciated
In addition, under Employment, there is a section labeled Description. How do you guys think that your description should differentiate from your resume (if at all). I'm thinking of putting 5 bullet points under each giving a sense of what my function was and what responsibilities I had.
Thanks!

Hey Chris,
I'm also reapplying (for entry fall 2013 though). I think the "descirption / description of involvement" area is meant to be a list of responsibilities of your job/EC whereas the resume is supposed to be more accomplishment oriented. That's the way I'm approaching it at least. Good luck with J-term!
