Hey all. I havent been on here in a while; unfortunately extenuating circumstances had me shift my focus away from GMAT/MBA for a while.
Anyways, I am back, and have started to research schools. One thing I noticed, and always wanted to ask, was the following:
How important is it to show that you've been involved in volunteer activities ? And if you HAVE been involved, does it necessarily have to be in leadership type roles ?
I ask because Ive found it difficult so far to get myself really involved in much outside work, for a couple of reasons ... work is extremely demanding, and outside of work I do keep up a very rigorous exercise regimen, and have to balance this with taking care of my Mother, who unfortunately is disabled.
Having said that, will the ad coms take any of this into consideration, or, should I still go out there and try to get more involved ?
Thanks for your replies in advance !
