So out of curiosity, what are some differences / alterations that people do to their MBA application resume as opposed to if they were doing a full time job application? Do you spell anything out a bit more? Put more of a spin on things? Push the envelope a bit more? Or leave it the same?
Are you trying to sell yourself and impress or try to keep it more modest, relative and exact to your personal being?
I haven't been through it yet, but I believe I would lie/embellish 10x more, due to lack of background checks.
This is dreadful advice - top b-schools all put their admits through a 3rd party background check and you're not truly 'in' until you pass the check. It's just like joining a firm.
kes18's advice is better: change the slant. as b-schools look for slightly different things than employers do.
I took a totally different approach. Much less finance jargon, more leadership focused, no specific deal info - as least stuff wasn't broken out by deal. Basically more general in nature and shorter. Added an entire section on community involvement. Expanded on undergrad and clubs/positions etc.
For a job you are selling your qualifications for school you are selling yourself as an individual.
