So Reed Smith has the following question on their TC app:

"What are your main activities or interests outside of your study or work-life?"

Do you think that could include also activities/interests that you used to have but no longer practice? Let's say university activities/societies that you participated in but you no longer do because you've graduated.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Sophia,

I actively do that actually! If your graduation was only say 1 or 2 years ago, then your activities then are still very relevant. Grad rec from Linklaters also confirmed this, if you'd like concrete evidence that it's OK to do. If you're beyond 2 years graduated, I would probably recommend trying to incorporate more recent hobbies as well.
