I'm glad I asked.Don't do it.
Many folks see an accomplishment as something done admirably or something that has contributed to the greater good.I'm glad I asked.
Why do you not recommend it?
That makes sense. Thanks for the information!Many folks see an accomplishment as something done admirably or something that has contributed to the greater good.
The wedding itself was an accomplishment for those who planned and executed it, but whether the marriage will be a contribution is still far from clear.
In any case, the prompt is an opportunity to show the committee something that everyone agrees is valuable. There is a place in the primary where you can list dependents and many opportunities to discuss loved ones. I am suggesting that you not use this prompt for that purpose.

Yeah but you haven't seen my ugly mug! One look at me and you'll know why I listed it as an achievement!I'm going to be more blunt than my learned colleague. Saying your greatest nonacademic accomplishment is getting married is like saying breathing it your greatest accomplishment.
Does the non-academic experience need to have some award/recognition backing it up? Or even something that shows bravery, social justice, sticking to your morals, etc?
I feel like I have personal achievements within hobbies that mean a lot to me, but there aren't really clear milestones for me to talk about. And they haven't really enacted any great change in somebody's life...
