Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about changing the story significantly for a second time application.
I spoke with a consultant who said it wasn't much of an issue but I don't believe her.

Hi,
It entirely depends on the gap you have between the first and the second story. Imagine, you created a story for a management consulting position and your entire past was woven in a manner that really established a strong candidature for consulting, and you justified it very well in the year 2013.
You went back to the same school within a year with a banking story or supply chain. They won't easily buy it unless you authentically express that have put in a lot of effort in introspecting on career choices, and are certain of your reasons now.
If you were dinged because of something other than goals, you might not be required to change your story.
You are asking a very subjective question though. If you could share more details on the previous story and the new story( that you are creating now), I can probably guide you more here.

Hey there,
What stories are, why they might change, and the impact they might have on your chances is one of the most difficult components of the admissions process. For some applicants, changing stories would be ill-advised while for others it might be the right move. And even if it is the right move, applicants can still botch the execution.
In all honesty, it's impossible to tell you if the advice you received is sound or not based on what you've told us. Without a complete picture of you, your goals, and your previous applications, my advice would be equally broad-brushed and ineffective.
If you'd like to chat, you can sign up for a free consultation [here] and we can dig into things. If you're looking for a thorough assessment of your previous application, we offer a detailed [Ding Analysis] and the feedback we provide is specific and hyper-actionable. The answer to your question, however, lies at the end of one, and probably both, of those paths.
Look forward to chatting with you,
Bhavik
