Message: <blockquote data-quote="OVLD68" data-source="post: 186227" data-attributes="member: 37133">Hi, I was hoping someone could critique my answer to the Simmons & Simmons question. I obviously only have 250 words but decided to cover a wide range of experiences.Please give details of your interests and activities, positions of responsibility, skills and achievements. Please also include any other information relevant to your application. (250 words max)For the past two years, I've attended Arabic lessons (currently at A1 proficiency) to broaden my global perspective. I have always wanted to speak another language, appreciating the challenge and cultural depth it provides.As Lead Legal Advisor for XYZ, I am responsible for delegating tasks to other team members, leading client meetings, and having the final say on all official correspondence before submission. This has greatly increased my communication, leadership and teamwork abilities.Similarly, as a Wellbeing Ambassador, I am responsible for organising welfare events and providing guidance to students, strengthening my interpersonal and communication skills.My most noteworthy achievement is being named the Regional Winner of the XYZ. My paper on XYZ offered a fresh perspective on the evolving XYZ dynamics. This award was open to all undergraduate students globally and was judged by an expert panel comprising leading academics and industry professionals, making it a very proud accomplishment.I have also secured the competitive COMBAR Scholarship. While I believe my skills are better suited to a career as a solicitor, I was eager to pursue this opportunity as it allows me to view commercial law from a more holistic perspective, seeing how commercial litigation plays out in a courtroom.I would also like to note that I had mitigating circumstances in the first year of my undergraduate degree. I won’t discuss them here, due to the word count, but I can provide them.</blockquote>
