[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 217455, member: 42112"] Hello! If your motivations for applying haven't changed much, it's absolutely fine to keep some of the same core content from your previous application - especially if it clearly sets out why the firm appeals to you and why you'd be a good fit. They key is to make sure that the new application isn't a copy-and-paste of the previous one. I'd suggest: [LIST] [*]Reviewing your old draft and asking yourself what worked well (since it got you to VI, a lot of it clearly did!) [*]Updating anything that might feel dated (e.g. firm news, deals or recent initiatives that you can reference) [*]Showing progression since your last application (e.g. new experiences, skills, or insights you've gained) [/LIST] That way you're not starting completely from scratch and having to come up with new motivations (which would likely make your application seem less authentic), but you're still presenting a fresh application that reflects where you are now! Best of luck with your application - if you have any other questions, let us know! 😁 [/QUOTE]
