Then about 2 months into school, a bunch of folks from my cluster got emails from Kroll saying 'Congrats, you came back clean' (or something to that effect. So, I imagine the checking isn't completed until after you enroll. But that is speculation, I'd ask admissions if you want an official answer.<BR/><BR/>Regarding your recommender, I would just drop the adcom a note and let them know the situation. They are pretty understanding about that stuff (I had some updates as well).<BR/><BR/>In short, just be honest and you will not have problems with the background check.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235477136023735504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37135864.post-39086242158442522252007-10-04T22:19:00.000-04:002007-10-04T22:19:00.000-04:00Thanks a lot for your efforts to keep your blog up...Thanks a lot for your efforts to keep your blog up to date. Your efforts to respond to comments on time are really commendable. <BR/><BR/>By the way, could you please shed light on your experience with CBS's Kroll process? How much time did the process take and what exactly was being checked?<BR/><BR/> I am a current admit to CBS-J term and one of my recommenders has left for maternity leave for next 4 months. I wonder what would be Kroll’s reaction to this. I might get the cell number of my recommender but I still do not know whether I should convey this new information to CBS admissions committee or to Kroll directly? CBS has asked students not to log into Kroll’s website prior to October 15? Hence all this speculation!<BR/><BR/>Does CBS ask Kroll to check the recent employer only? Although my latest job is in US, my first job was in an emerging country where human resources practices are still not established and I am afraid that Kroll might not be able to confirm much if any? Does the process take months, weeks or days? Your comments would be highly appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
