    In previous application cycles, did you submit so many so rapidly? As while the number you have submitted this year already is incredibly impressive, I wonder if the quantity and the rapidity is impacting on the quality.

    uuuu I am not a fan of two-pronged questions, e.g. 'What steps have you taken to research a career as a solicitor at an international law firm? What appeals to you about this career?'.

    I'm sorry that we got our wires crossed, and I didn't mean to initiate a barrage of comments against you.
