Applying to DLA Piper's Summer Internship after completing the first year insight scheme?

[B1806]

In April of 2020 I completed DLA Piper's spring insight scheme. A week or so ago, I received an email from DLA Piper telling me I should "review and complete my application" for the summer internship and that the vacancy will already be listed on my account. I checked and the application was in fact there with the same information I used to apply for the spring scheme. DLA also said that I "did not need to apply again". What I'm wondering is whether that means I just update my details on the application (i.e. contact details, first year grades, etc.) and then leave it alone OR do I need to click submit at the end of the application? Does anyone have any experience here? Considering that they said "you do not need to apply again" I'm a bit confused as to whether I should re-submit.
Thank you!

I would always review and update an application - even if the old application was successful for the new vacancy, I'd want my interviewers/assessors to be aware of anything I have done since my old application and also want to consider whether the Spring Insight Programme helped me refine my motivations for commercial law and the firm.

Yeah they told me the same, but they also said I can update the CV if I want to (which I ended up doing). By the way, did you hear back at all after doing the WG?
Thanks!

No I haven't heard back yet! But i'm also their brand ambassador and they told me they're quite busy this term so they wont be giving out responses as rolling as past years. all their AC will be in January/February (they really want to be able to do it in person)

I’d check in with your contacts in Hong Kong or contact the London office to discuss. Sometimes these things don’t transfer across offices (sometimes they do though).

Thanks , I will mail them and ask it.
