[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 220217, member: 42112"] Hello! Great question - I think a bit of both! You will naturally touch on points from your application as those are your genuine reasons, and they’re unlikely to have changed! However, it is good to build on them rather than just repeating your application word for word. At the AC, it is likely that your interviewer has read your application already, so it’s a great opportunity to expand (particularly since your application likely had a word limit) - for example, you could add a personal reflection, mention any insights you have learned since applying (e.g. from an open day), or link your reasons to something you have experienced at the AC. Keeping it concise is still key, so I always used to focus on two or three core points for each question and make them clear (with examples!). You are then reinforcing your motivations but showing that your understanding and enthusiasm have developed since you wrote your application. I hope that assists! :) [/QUOTE]
