[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 192655, member: 36777"] I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here, but my approach for the cover letter was to focus on my why the firm reasoning and keep the 'why me' section relatively short, only around 200-300 words. I then chose to discuss academic achievements and more academic-focused extracurriculars here, while in the dedicated skills question I discussed a broader range of experiences. As I ended up being progressed, I think this approach must have been fine. Now, as to your more pointed question, my advice would be to (i) keep the skills section in the cover letter short; and (ii) not to include all your most significant achievements/skills in either, but to distribute them between the two.
