"If you personal goal is sports, that's fine, but remember that the question ends with "the role an MBA from the University of Chicago GSB plays in your plans to reach these goals."" -

Best of luck!

I found profound wisdom in the words above I gleaned from the Chicago GSB boards. Joanne has summarised everything in a nutshell. I believe all we have to do it lay out our STG,LTG (both personal and professional) and tie it to how the GSB (or any school) can help us get there. The other side of the coin - lay out our "significant" STE(Short term experiences), WEx, College ex etc. and tie it to how we will enrich the community.

I think all essays are about this. But then the difficulty is to pick the right experiences. And then say them the right way!
