Dickson Poon Undergraduate Scholarship 2016

Has anyone applied?
What do you think they're looking for in the essays? (They used to have a video outlining this but it seems to have been taken down after their 2014 competition so I am unable to access it.)

Hey! just saw the thread, yeah I've applied, video basically just said to write something personal etc, not the most helpful thing out there, probably what they were aiming for though haha.
Did you end up applying?

applied. wrote about success in a law competition and failure in sports. 31 on the lnat and no acknowledgement- does this mean anything?
No, majority of people haven't heard back i don't think, i got an acknowledgement because i sent them a message to make sure they received it prior to the deadline.

They said they would be letting people know of the outcome of their application on the 14th of this month
Also applied, although I found it really hard to write about something I've failed at (not in an obnoxious way), like "oh yeah I tried and failed at ..., please offer me a scholarship?" I got 28 in LNAT
