Hi Alice,


For the first question, I think there are many approaches and all are OK as long as you have answered the question and refer back to it as many times as possible. It's not a case of saying what makes Shearman different, it's why that difference gives them an advantage, so don't lose sight of that.


2nd question) Use around half, no need to be strict and use exactly half. Also your last point about why law in the city is the right one. City law is so different to high-street law or government law but also different to big law firms in regional areas as well.


3rd question) Do not worry. This one, grad rec have literally said they want to see who you are and if there's more to you than your work experience and grades. Write what you can and then go back and edit and make it read well.
