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

Hey, new to investing looking at initial mistakes I made. I have $1k in VOO, $7k in VT and $4k in VTI in my brokerage acct; in my Roth IRA I have $6k in VT and $7.7k in VTI. I know isn’t an ideal portfolio because many of these funds overlap. However I’m in for the long term and am willing to reposition to a strategy that will do the best over my life. Id appreciate to hear feedback on these 2 accounts and better approaches from others. Thanks!

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
