Hi did you receive a confirmation email after the submission? I did not receive any confirmation that my submission is accepted or not.
Btw, I did a economics question.

Hey there! I believe if you log back into the registration page you can check the status of your submission- it will most likely say accepted, in which case you're all set!

If you don't mind me asking, which economics question did you tackle? They all looked very difficult so I decided to do a law and history essay instead lol.

Yep, I submitted a law and history essay!

Which law question did you choose? All of them looked really interesting to try but I decided to go with the first one.

Sorry for the late reply!

You did the first question too, that's awesome! I definitely found the question difficult in the sense that there were SO many ways to go about it and set up an argument. I ended up arguing that having more women on the Supreme Court wouldn't bring more justice since I personally think that's true and there were plenty of ways to defend my claim. How did you go about answering the question?

I was contemplating trying the second one, it was super cool! I had a few ideas but couldn't quite come up with a solid idea for an essay though haha. What'd you argue for the second question?

I did, it was a long journey writing it but I’m so glad I did, even if I’m not shortlisted tomorrow. I did question 1, which did you do and what did you argue?

I also did law Q1 and opposed the statement. I talked about gender dichotomy, affirmative action and patriarchy. Honestly don’t know if they were any good…

Hey!! I'm a student from New York and I did Psychology Q3! Was this a popular question this year, and for those that did it, how was it?

Also, good luck to everyone!
