I did it via prose, but can't say whether bullet points are okay or not.
For anyone who has completed the Reed Smith commercial awareness questions (or anyone who would mind providing advice generally) how would you interpret the word "incorrectly" in the following question:
3. Taking into account the firms core values and drawing on any examples you have from your experiences, would you feel confident enough to challenge your colleagues if they were carrying out a process incorrectly?

Worth still applying to mayer brown/ macfarlanes summer vac schemes? They are rolling basis and I will be applying near to the deadline.
I personally would try and find something else to focus on here. Not necessarily because it's drawing attention to the wrong thing, but because I think it's generally speaking better to use a wider array of examples from different parts of your life to give a more rounded overall impression of you as a candidate.

I applied to Macfarlanes three days before the deadline last year and I got an AC. It was not even the last AC either. Apply!
For the BCLP vac scheme application and more precisely the question: "Please detail any academic awards, positions of responsibilities and/ or any interests or hobbies outside of academics and work experience (please list in bullet points)." 300
How did people approach it?
I know there is an old thread on it, but I am still struggling. It is 300 words and asking us to list bullet points, so I assume we should not describe or go into much detail about each point. But then how do you fill up the word count? I have like 5 things to write for that question and unless I give details about each, there is no way I can reach the word count.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I personally did bullet points for each activity and a short sentence after it.
If you only have a couple you can just bullet point them and go into a little detail about each one
There’s no indication that you need to write 300 words, it just gives you that capacity just in case someone has a lot of awards
