    Because I talked to them, it is 25 across two years, they take 50% from each and from my AC (last year) [there was 9 people] and they took 6. This is directly from Pippa, part of the Early Careers. (also about 1600 applications if anyone really wants the numbers)

    I mean, I also usually link my work experience in the app to the firm, but I think it was the second question about qualities? I don't think I linked that, first one obv talked about why the firm, last one was also the firm but I screwed that one up, middle two I dont think I specifically linked...

    sometime I don't think I specifically linked the second one either??? I directly mentioned the competencies but except for the first and last I dont think I said SH directly. Lol I was screwed with the test and now with this too
