[QUOTE="NW Law, post: 157126, member: 18835"] I can't speak for anyone else, but from my own experience (which was successful) - my gut instinct was they wanted someone quite well-known. My approach was I ended up picking someone quite well-known and broke down my answer to highlighting three things I admired about them. So my order was 1) perseverance, 2) importance of making and learning from mistakes, and 3) work ethic and persuasion. I do think there needs to be that personal element - so it is great to say a historical figure you admire and detail some reasons why they're admirable. But ultimately, the firm, imo, is looking for a clear reasoning for the person you select, and then why that person is important to you. Only thing I would probably recommend is to avoid anyone who might be considered too controversial (I tended to avoid politicians). I suppose another way of thinking about the question is asking who your role model in history is and why is it them specifically. Good luck with the app! [/QUOTE]
