I don't think there is a specific number of activities you need to mention. Last cycle, I was invited to a Paul, Weiss interview, and what worked for me was choosing a few meaningful examples (I'd say between 3 and 5) and showing how they connected to the firm's values (though the exact question has changed slightly since then). You can definitely drawn on past positions and personal interests, as long as you can link them back to what Paul, Weiss look for in trainees. For example, I discussed being a committee member for university societies, participating in BIUCAC, and working as a student mentor.The key is to relate each example to qualities Paul, Weiss emphasises on their website or recruitment materials. For instance, if I was answering the question this year, I could connect my BIUCAC experience to traits like continuous learning and having an entrepreneurial mindset. In practice, this could possibly look like:"Through my participation in BIUCAC, I worked in a small group to analyse a complex commercial scenario involving a multi-jurisdictional acquisition for an energy company. We had to work under significant time pressure and respond to unseen questions from a panel of law firm partners. This not only demonstrated my commitment to continuous learning but also encouraged me to think creatively and take initiative, which are qualities that align with Paul, Weiss' emphasis on an entrepreneurial mindset"I hope that helps! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
