[QUOTE="Raphael Yan Bing Khoo, post: 11220, member: 596"] Hey! So I broke my personal statement down into four parts: (i) why commercial law, (ii) why Freshfields for me, (iii) distinguishing aspects of the Training Programme and (iv) why me. I gave some-what equal weighting to each part but focused on part (iv) and tried to make my application stand out by giving a mixture of things I did in School (committee work, pro bono) and things I did outside school (Photography/Videography and Trekking mountains). Personally, I spent 30% of my personal statement on the "why you" portion but always linked my responses to "why Freshfields" and "Freshfields' training programme" to my own personal experiences. Hope that helps and all the best!! [/QUOTE]
