LOL, true. But ordinary international mail is very very unreliable, at least request like a cute, polite applicant? :P

Econs. You?

Hey there! I applied to magdalene for econs as well. Checked out your profile and realised you're a fellow singaporean as well! Looks like we're in direct competition eh? Haha jk.

Anyway i reckon we'll hear back from them tomorrow. Hoping we both get in!

Hh btw i've heard that if you made it to the final interviews for jardine you are almost guaranteed an offer ffom oxbridge already. Jardine did in fact request info from the colleges about the statuses of our applications before deciding on who to invite to the final interviews. I reckon this info is pretty reliable so good for you! But dont take my word for it haha!

I did the IB at ACSI. Hmm i'm currently just about to begin sort of an internship/part time job with a financial consultancy firm. In fact I took and passed a few qualification exams already :smile:

I took a few modules in the Capital Markets and Financial Advisory Services (CMFAS) exams which are prerequisites for obtaining a licence in financial advisory. Haha no worries I pretty much just let my brain rot during NS as well (as most people did I guess?) except for some self reading on economics and finance which I am genuinely interested in. You could probably just take it as a time to take a breather on the academic front and maybe take on some other useful stuff like driving?
