Calling all Stanford GSB MBA Applicants: (2018 Intake) Class of 2020!!

What I really don't understand is why apart of the resume, which by definition contains successes and description of positions/activities all business schools would still ask you to fill the information separately in open-ended questions fields. In my case, I feel I didn't answer the open-ended questions of Stanford the way I should have, simply because it was the first application I worked on and I only later came with better ideas in other applications. Assuming all my signifcant successes are on the resume, picking the one that I see most important provides a lot of information to the adcom regarding my conception of things.

Especially in Stanford, I believe each little tiny piece of the application counts. I wish they could have focus more on essays, resume, and testing scores which usually cover most of the questions but I doubt this is the case
