Hi
itwillbedoneWe've spoken on this earlier. Your post frames disclosure as a choice to weigh, and our read is that this is the misconception to drop first. Where a school asks directly, as ISB does, a truthful answer is the only path, because an omission surfacing later at employment verification does far more damage than the incident itself.
- Committees assess not whether something happened but how you account for it. A short factual account (the situation, your SOP explanation, the outcome, what you took from it), written without blaming the employer, reads as maturity; the defensive versions we see read as risk.
- Geography matters less than you may expect: HEC, LBS, Kellogg and Cornell will all weigh the same things, the facts, your role, and your learning. Where there is no direct question, a brief optional essay is the vehicle.
- Today: request the termination letter and any investigation findings from HR in writing, then draft a 150-word factual account while details are fresh. Also line up a recommender from that company who can vouch for your integrity independently.
Situations like this recover when the account is factual, brief, and owned. Round 1 remains realistic, and we are glad to look at the specifics if that would help.
