    They did stress (when I asked at a law fair) that they are non-rolling, so perhaps still going through the many apps...

    Hi! I am also working on Cooley, and I was wondering how you're tackling the 'tell us about you' question? I'm trying to decide whether to talk about why I'm a 'good fit' for the firm in this answer, or in the 'why does Cooley appeal to you' section.

    Wow thanks so much! I actually have a subscription to JobTestPrep from university - will that be just as useful for practice?
