    My strengths were growth mindset, active collaborator and pride, area of development was being too realistic?? 🤣 Got PFOd the next day, but in hindsight my application wasn’t that good so if you have the same feedback don’t worry lol

    I’m not sure if you can re-do arctic shores, all it says on the website is that they accept applications in the same calendar year if you did not get an ac. I’m still seeking clarification myself if this means I can now reapply for summer having been rejected for winter

    I was just rejected from a firm where I believed my application was very strong and am feeling disappointed I wasn’t even given an interview. Is it possible for me to email asking for feedback on my application, or is this something frowned upon? Thanks!

    what are the best ways of researching distinctions between firms? band rankings are fairly surface level - I can’t seem to find much specific info on a firm’s website/other internet searches on where a firm may particularly excel

    when applying to firms that excel in multiple practice areas, is it a good idea to zoom in on one as a reason for why you are applying? I.e. with a small word count e.g 300 is it better to go more in depth on one area or try and write a more holistic answer?
