1) No. If they need the info, they'll reach out to you. 2) Background check took roughly 2 weeks for me. It likely helped that I was very detailed in my responses and took some extra time to ensure I put down direct contact information to the specific people who could answer their questions and also notified those people ahead of time that they should be expecting to get a call for the information. I'm guessing most delays result in some former educational institution or employer not getting back to them after multiple contact attempts by the background check agency. 3) You're fine.

First of all, congrats on the job!! You have nothing to worry about. If the app didn't request high school information, you're fine. If HR asks, you'll have a very good reason which will be backed up in the background check. No. Source: Have obtained clearance level for previous internship, in the process of obtaining another. In my experience, in depth background checks fingerprint scans, etc. can be as quick as two weeks. A month as a standard max wait can be normal. No!! You've got this.
