I found a very informative article on Gmatclub's blog about what schools were really asking in their essay questions--exactly what I was looking for. The one I read was about UC Berkeley, Haas, because that's the program I'm applying to. I should tell you that I'm applying to the PT program, and even though many of the essay questions are the same, their word length varies. In other words, a long essay question for the FT program is a short essay question in the PT program. However, the long essay question in the PT program doesn't even figure in the questions for the FT program. On that blog, I was trying to find a way to email the writer to ask her if she could comment on what the school was really asking in this question, but only registered blog users could leave comments. I tried to register, but I found no way of doing this (no "register" button). I emailed people here on gmatclub about it, but received no answer.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could provide some information about the real meaning behind the PT program's long essay question. Here it is:
[quote2UC Berkeley]Please tell us about yourself and your background. Include information about your family, where you grew up, your interests, and any other people or experiences that have influenced you. The goal of this essay is to get a sense of who you are, rather than what you have achieved professionally. (1,000 word maximum)[/quote2]
Are they really only asking me to tell them about my life and I'm making too much out of this question, or, like all the other questions, there really is a meaning behind (i.e., a "real question") every question, this one being no exception.
Thank you all very much.

sorry, but my question is completely off the topic and question you're posing:
what's that in your picture? it looks awesome!
