[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 181448, member: 2672"] Although I am happy to review sections of applications on occasion and when time allows, I can’t really do this on a continuous basis, so happy to provide feedback again on this occasion but this will be the last time I can do it. I think you are spending too much of your word count describing your experiences. This example also is focused on what your lecturer/other people did rather than your input into the situation. Given this feedback, from what you have written, I have condensed it down to the following: [I]I am primarily interested in Gibson Dunn due to it small team structure that creates a safe space where 'everyone at any level gets to have a seat at the table'. During my university foundation year, I worked on a small group project where I actively participated and contributed my ideas. In addition, I appreciated that no one was afraid to ask questions, which increased the group’s approachability and collaboration. This environment, combined with the close mentorship and personalised feedback I received from my lecturer, contributed significantly to my success, leading to my 89% grade. I intend to maintain this working style in a legal environment as it will continue to develop essential teamwork skills which will help me excel in future endeavours.[/I] This part of your answer will need to be balanced out with more specific “why Gibson Dunn” content though, as the small teams could be said for a lot of other firms.
