I'm a tech professional with 3 years of experience. I recently applied for a new job and noticed a discrepancy on my job portal profile. I completed my B.Tech in five years (2014-2019) but listed it as four (2015-2019). My graduation letter only mentions 2019.Given recruiters are on this platform, I'm wondering how deeply companies scrutinize educational backgrounds during profile verification. Do they usually cross-check details with universities? Any advice on if this ? Thanks in Advance 🙏

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
