In prompts asking about my proudest accomplishment, is it a bad idea to discuss how I completed my biology degree in 3 years (time management, reaching out to resources, etc.) which is more academic in nature? Or for real one of the proudest accomplishments I have is climbing Mt. Baldy (big mountain in California) which speaks more in physical/mental preparation and leading a hiking team to the top.
In summary my question is when answering prompts in secondaries, it is more "traditional" to keep responses academically-related in nature? Because I'm afraid if I talk about personal feats like learning a new instrument/skill, it might come off as "selfish."
