Hello - I'm struggling with one of the questions on the application, mostly because of the potential breadth of it! The question is:

Please detail below any further information that you would like us to consider when reviewing your application in the light of the many others we receive? What makes you stand out from the crowd?

How have other people approached this? I'm unsure whether to focus on my personal attributes, my experiences, my drive, or what. Whilst I'm proud of many things about myself, they're mostly things like academic success, work ethic, a variety of work experience etc. - and it's hard to think of any of these things as being radically different to other applicants.

It’s just an opportunity for you to highlight anything you think is important that you haven’t spoken about yet - there is no set structure/approach as it will vary from candidate to candidate
