    Especially for Farrer, it doesn't make sense. Why ask for a 350 word cover letter then make you answer seperate questions about transferable skills, extracurriculars, positions of responsibility and why Farrer, each being 300 words?? That's basically the four parts of a cover letter 😭

    The Farrer & Co first stage application requiring a total of 1850 words is a bit much😭

    I wrote my Vinson & Elkins cover letter to be one page, however I just went onto the portal to start submitting and it says maximum 2 pages for the cover letter, does this mean they are expecting it to be 2 pages?
