If admitted to GSB/HBS, what is the background check checking? Is it dates and titles for employment, or is it fact checking every bullet on resume (everything accurate, some numbers are just rounded and if those are being explicitly checked I’ll get precise ones)

Better to be as accurate as possible - I just went through the verification process and even adcom reading through will notice discrepancies between what’s stated in your resume vs results mentioned by rec letters. Rounding (reasonably) is ok but they will def catch any exaggerations or false claims
