To the same school? I think that would be a nail
In your coffin. They want to see how you’ve changed and what you’ve accomplished over the past year specifically.

There’s a separate essay for reapplicants which asks me to address that

But my long term career goals, and the value I see in the school providing - each separate essays haven’t changed

I'm a successful reapplicant to Booth/Kellogg this year and made minimal changes. I know for a fact I reused the exact essay for one of the Kellogg essays too. I'm not sure if I would recommend this but it worked fine for me...

Makes sense, thanks!

Hi all! I’m in the search of a remote HRBP role, looking for a company that is willing to pick me up as a new HRBP. I’ve been in the role 4 months, but this company is a disaster. The culture is so bad, I had an employee say they can’t even go to the bathroom without permission. I’m really not wanting to go back to a generalist role. Prior to this job, I had another offer of HRBP but I didn’t like the interview. Been in the field 6+ years. Let me know if anyone has anything!
