Hi
I did little revision,close to no extracurriculars worth mentioning, and have bad predicted grades. (Mostly 8&9s with three 7s out of 11 subjects) I've heard that they don't really care about the school report stuff but I've pretty much given up at this point
Yeah, but at school, I do MUN, Phil soc, and astronomy club and that's it.
I play the piano to what I'd call a pretty high level (probably), but I'm pretty sure that that doesn't matter because I know people who did diplomas for three instruments lol

I do Maths, History, History of Art and Philosophy and Theology
The example papers that they sent us for maths was a bit easy tho... I hope that wasn't a trick done on purpose

Exam in a week! Have to pray extra hard now.

Hii the maths paper was so trippy cause I feel like they are going to give us something much harder and are building false confidence lol, apparently though it’s mostly hard time wise so I think it’s mostly making sure you have accuracy while being quick (knowing me that’ll me I’ll make so many silly mistakes lol). Honestly I think your selling yourself short (not everyone has like diplomas in three different instrument lol) but also I think they just genuinely search for people who are passionate and will be a valuable asset to the school community they aren’t looking for 60 people who are all amazing musicians or artist ect they want a diversity so as long as you can sell yourself in what you geniunly love you’ll be fine :smile:

I do Maths History Bio and Econ btw

FYI the sample papers are last years paper and the year before’s so it’s not gonna be harder than this (for normal maths). Good luck!
