    I'd say yes because firms probably would find it odd for you to be giving 2 totally contradicting viewpoints. I'd just reiterate the reason itself, and maybe expand on it and bring in other aspects.

    No probs! I guess they'll just look to fill up the Spring places first and then move onto Summer. Fills me with a bit more confidence about applying near the deadline

    Can't tell if I'm being stupid... but was there even an option on the MB form to select Spring or Summer? I've looked on apply4law and can't see that I did if there was an option o_O

    I actually received an email from HireVue with the VI link a couple of minutes before the email from PwC saying I will receive the link 'shortly', so I'd probably contact the grad recruitment team :)

    Hi guys, for BCLP's question relating to 'detailing academic awards, positions of responsibilities' etc., it states to list in bullet points. How much detail did people go into? Did you talk about the skills that you gained as a result? Many thanks for the help!

    Really?? I had: 1. Tell us about a time you have exceeded expectations in your work and/or study. 2. Tell us about responsibilities you have taken on outside of work and/or study. 3.

    I sent off my application this week, and there's no longer both of these questions on the application I don't think? Only the second one!

    PwC video interview invite! :D [not sure if this is automated or not... thought I'd completely screwed up the test though]

    I've had similar doubts! I feel like because the cover letter is only 500 words, it's better to focus on why law and why MB, and then for the second question involving 'roles of responsibility, interests, extra-curricular activities', make sure to link back what transferrable skills you've...

    Ashurst aren't rolling, and their deadline was at 12pm today, so unlikely to hear back for a while
