Anyone still waiting to hear back from Sidley Austin post-app?

@Jessica Booker Hi, If an application has the same question as last year and it is referring to "proudest achievement" can I use the same answer? (Last year I passed the application stage).

For this specific question, yes, I think it is fine to use the same example. I would still critically evaluate your answer and see if with a fresh pair of eyes you think it can be improved from a drafting perspective though. That doesn't mean everything has to change, it can just mean you recognise a sentence here and there could be presented in an even better way (e.g. more concise, better language/tone etc).
