[QUOTE="FutureTrainee100, post: 222354, member: 24616"] Hi [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER], I’m re-applying to Gibson Dunn this cycle after reaching the AC last year and would really appreciate your advice. I’ve re-written my “why commercial law” paragraph and fully refreshed my first “why Gibson Dunn” paragraph. My question is about my two other reasons for wanting to join the firm: the disputes/transactions balance, and the training philosophy. My reasoning on those hasn’t changed — so is it acceptable to keep those broadly the same this year, or is that still too risky even if I lightly rephrase? Separately, my final “why me” paragraph is currently focused on my university research achievement and my society leadership roles (I graduated two years ago). Should I keep the research award and add a recent achievement to show progression — or would you replace it entirely? Would really appreciate your thoughts. I thought last year’s application was strong and I’d like to keep elements of it this year if I can. [/QUOTE]
