Here is Essay D of Tepper School of Business.

Please answer one of the following two questions. Please clearly specify which question you are answering.

1. Outside of my professional and/or academic life, one thing that people would be surprised to know about me is…

2. Outside of my professional and/or academic life, I am especially proud of…

I have two things in my mind that could be used here.
1. My running as a hobby. I have run marathons twice.
2. My social work. Working for the lower strata of the society etc.

I am not able to decide which one to go for here. Both are good indicators my of personality type.

2nd one, because you can show your impact on other people. You may also show teamwork and organized project work in your social work project. 1st one though commendable is an individual achievement.

Thanks for your reply Victor.
How about this: I have mentioned my social work in another essay as a foundation of my post MBA goals selection.
So, would it now make sense to include running in this essay ?

Thanks in advance.

Always happy to help. If you have mentioned social work project in another essay then it wont make sense to include it in this essay, you may go ahead and include running here.

"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."
