MBA Application Issue

You can expect a 3rd party company to do a background check. You have to have some proof for anything listed in the application. For employment this would be ideally a letter of reference, but pay slips, tax returns etc will also be fine. The background search will not be super detailed but more superficial (reflecting the less than 100 bucks or so that you pay them anyhow).

Never heard of that.

I suggest posting under INSEAD or LBS tags to engage students or graduates from those schools.

Hello!

Gone through this myself. It´s a pain, but nothing to be worried about if you didn´t lie (i.e., you said that you worked in X when it wasn´t true).

To your questions:

1. 3rd party provider
2. Nothing like that! They contact your previous employer to verify you worked there in those dates, and that´s it.
3. That is perfectly stated in INSEAD´s page on scholarships

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hello there!

You don't have to worry about any background checks if you don't lie in your CV application. It clearly might happen just to make sure that you have a certain background that you stated. But nothing too special.

The documents can be checked on the website of INSEAD

Good luck,
