I think this is Debevoise right? I see it as an opportunity for you to share something a bit more personal to give recruiters an insight into who you are. It's up to you how you want to frame it: could be anything from something about your background to a personal challenge you've overcome etc...
Thanks for having the courage to post this, you’re definitely not alone. This process can be really really brutal - the most painful ones for me were always when I’d got further along the process because by then I’d got my hopes up.
As others have said, 4 ACs means you’re clearly doing...

TCLA Year In Review 2019
It’s hard to put into words how incredible this year has been.
I plan to start writing these reviews at the end of each year to take stock of what we’ve achieved so far and map out where we’re hoping to go in the future. Hopefully, it'll also give you guys an insight...

Generally, I'd keep the answer focused on you/what makes you stand out.
I still think those are unique points worth mentioning though and would try to fit them in. For example, you might say you believe your experiences make you well suited to the firm based on what you learned meeting them...
I don't think it's necessary for the three competency questions. As the final question also mentions further information, you could bring in references to commercial law/Hogan Lovells there (e.g. quite a few apps I see discuss their experiences and then tie in why it makes them a good fit for...

Hi All,
Just a heads up - I'll still be doing application reviews during the Christmas/New Year period (aside from Christmas day!).
By way of reminder, premium members can submit their applications at the bottom of this page: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/application-review-2/...
So sorry to hear this guys. If it’s any consolation, CC was my favourite firm when I was applying - I spent ages on the application - and they also rejected me. You never know what’s around the corner!
