MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

I posed this question in the Yale thread but wanted to open it up to a wider audience.
Essentially I am curious about whether essay questions on "professional" accomplishments pertain to one's profession (i.e. day job) or to those merely in the professional realm (i.e. one's employer). Because the answer may vary based on the context, here is one from the Yale app:
As an example, I lead a volunteer employee group at work that is extracurricular in the respect that there is little-to-no overlap with my "day job," however it has made a great impact on our organization as a whole.
Would this qualify as a "professional" accomplishment?
