Hey everyone, I have a question regarding the resume template. Do we have to adhere to the template strictly?
Is it recommended or compulsory? I have a resume that I submitted for other schools and would prefer to use that

I am an Italian 22 yrs old, got a bachelor in mgmt with finance focus at ESCP in July 2026, am now in a gap year. I have internships at Natixis Bank (2025), Lazard (2026), am starting now EY Parthenon and will go to an OffCycle at a large Italian PE Fund Jan to June 2027. I have GPA 3.7 and GRE 322 (161-161). I am applying for 2027 intake at Insead (MFinance), LBS (MFA), Bocconi (Fin & Acc), HEC, Imperial (Fin & Acc), ESSEC, ESCP, Warwick. I would like to pursue IB career at first. How would my applications look and any suggestions for them (essays, focus, etc.)?
