Gee, JBS essays 2 and 3 are tough. I think I've wrapped up the one about strengths and traits to improve upon, but the last one is even tougher. I think I am going for a place where I was most inspired. I think I'm going to write a story about an early morning in the jungle. I don't know whether I could tie it to business management 
, but I want to answer the question honestly. Perhaps it will present my personality from a different angle and show my love for nature and concern for the environment, as well as interest in traveling.
Any opinions on this solution?

Any further thoughts on how I can make sure that applying to both does not work against me? Thanks again Sorry for the long silence. Was swamped at work. Here is a good thread about Oxford vs. Cambridge:

A little difficult for me to comment personally right now because I am in the land of undecided. Going by facts, there isn't a huge amount of difference. Cambridge may have the edge on the hi-tech entrepreneurship and Oxford on social entrepreneurship. It really depends what your post MBA goal is. Personally, I am looking for a well-rounded general management course and so between both schools, it comes down to feelings - more than facts - i.e. the experience in dealing with the people at the school (adcom, alum, etc). What I like about both of them is that they seem to be more interested in you as a person more than perhaps some other places (hence the Oxford Essay 2 and Cambridge Essay 3) - Cambridge perhaps, with its small class size (and town itself) has more of a 'personal touch'. I've just had a chance to talk more with Cambridge team (admissions + faculty) and felt really good about its people. The interview experience (I had an early one in my home town) was also good - (though I felt a little unprepared and didn't feel I did as well as I could - as it was a very sudden arrangement).
I'm sorry if this may not be entirely helpful or scientific weighing....but sometimes your gut instinct also works better than you think

Hi annae - I don't think you need to tie it to business management. I think Cambridge adcoms want to see how you think (given the choice is the inspiration essay or 24hrs). I wrote my insipiration essay about something completley random, personal and unrelated to business. Hope this helps
