How different are FT background checks compared to SA ones? Is it much more detailed and thorough?

Hi Intern in IB-M&A, any of these discussions helpful:
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
Pretty thorough (called all previous employers and even my high school). Took about a week
Did you have to resubmit an application (ie. containing updated employers, clubs, educational background, etc...) or did they call the same ones from the previous year?
Why did they call your high school exactly? Was this to just check your employment history or ecs as well
