I read on nearly all the forums that there should be a balance of personal (extracurricular or volunteer) and professional essays in the application submitted. I have some volunteer experience to write about but I believe that I'll do better justice to the essay questions asked if I were to write about professional experiences (I may be partial because I am proud of a couple of achievements)
My question is - since there are other areas in the application where I can mention my extracurricular work (I did win an award for the volunteer work), can I concentrate on writing the essays with a professional theme?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
