[QUOTE="Deleted member 38167, post: 220068"] Sooo I'm not Andrei or Abbie, but perhaps I could share my experience and that could help (possibly I was fortunate enough to get a TC and part of the process was a VI) - take it with a pinch of salt. In terms of "tell me about yourself" I took it at face value, and literally spoke about myself (over 30, married, had a career in another field - insurance) and what motivates me to chase a career in law. My understanding of the question is that they want to see your personality and whether you are someone they can see themselves working with. They don't necessary want a list of look at me I'm amazing achievements but more what motivates you, what makes you happy, what interests do you have and why are you here in front of them applying. In terms of what was the best way to prepare - I wrote full answers for any possible questions I thought could come up and then practiced in front of a mirror and friends and family for hours until it was almost memory and I didn't need the notes - bullet points don't work for me so recording myself and timing my responses worked better from a page full of text.
