[QUOTE="coldmilc, post: 182596, member: 23601"] Hi, does anyone know what Gibson Dunn expects when they ask for " an outstanding personal achievement which added value to either your academic or working environment", and how is it different from "any other noteworthy achievements that will support my application"? For context, I talked about my experience organise a refugee outreach programme with my student society, and this set a precedent for the successors of my society to get involved in similar programmes (thereby adding value). However, I have gotten some mixed feedback, with the main criticism being that I should focus more on a personal achievement that shows my personality. For the other achievements, I plan to just write about my awards and previous society positions. Any help on what the firm is expecting when they ask something like this? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
