I’m in the process of applying to several top-level MBA programs. I am very particular about all aspects of the application process of which I have control over, namely the resume I submit. From your experiences, should the resume used for an MBA application be just like the one I would use to seek a job in business? For instance, should my education section be more detailed than usual or featured more toward the top of the page?
I have contacted several schools and I am told they offer no guidance in this matter and have no preference. However, I still want to make my resume as strong as possible.
Thanks for your insights and advice.

I haven’t worked in MBA admissions, but I did get my MBA from a good school. I used my regular work resume. My impression was that, since I’d been working for a couple of years and was applying for a Masters in Business, the committee would be most interested in my work experience. And since it was a business program, I kept it to a standard, business resume. Lastly, I’ve seen the resume books these programs publish for their graduates, and those all have standard business resumes.
However, I was sure that my education section included my GPA, any awards I’d won in undergrad, etc.
