[QUOTE="bollingdale, post: 182599, member: 36848"] Just wanted to flag some potential stumbling blocks for the a&o shearman application process Firstly, I noticed that while we were encouraged to write without strict word limits, there appears to be a hard limit around 616 words in the submission boxes (at least for me there was). This wasn’t immediately obvious, as the full text doesn’t display without scrolling. For those drafting externally, this could unintentionally cut off text, impacting your submissions at the last moment. Draft with this in mind, and don't make my mistake of editing on the fly inside the boxes, which doesn't let you see everything you are doing at once, you are more liable to introduce typos etc... Secondly, during the situational judgement test, there was a pie chart question where the key used similar red and pink shades. This made it difficult to distinguish between them, particularly on different screen settings. Be aware of this and make sure your brightness settings are normal and full brightness. [/QUOTE]
