[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 212638, member: 36740"] Hi there [USER=35320]@tosin4774[/USER] , Just to add to [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] ’s amazing response on this, I’ve linked a thread below which you may also find useful: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/why-this-firm-%F0%9F%A4%94%F0%9F%92%AD-crafting-applications.9119/[/URL] [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]In summary of the link above, I like to approach such questions almost like an equation:[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B][/B][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](What I know) + (What I don’t yet know) = A Knowledge Gap A Knowledge Gap × The Right Environment (i.e. X firm) = Accelerated Growth[/COLOR][/B] So rather than just listing what you admire about the firm, frame it as the essential multiplier that bridges the gap between where you are and where you want to be. For example, if you already understand the basics of private equity but haven’t yet seen how it plays out in cross-border deals, and the firm is known for exactly that, then…that’s your equation in action. This makes your answer both personal and forward-looking…you're not just choosing the firm because of its rankings or status, but because it’s the right environment to turn your current potential into future impact. Best wishes with the application. Let us know if you’ve got any more questions. We’d be more than happy to help xx. [/QUOTE]
