same experience broHow about this awesome dude
Hey there! First of all the only major positive I had on my side was that I was a STEM Captain at my current high school, so that was pretty big. Tbh, I am more of a bookworm than possibly anyone in this forum! So I barely had any extracurricular activities, except for some that were quite decent but not amazing. What else, I had a Resume, and a Cover letter and some major achievements in Co-curricular activities (like being placed in the top 5% globally for the Language Perfect World Championships). And trust me, DW about the maths quiz, I only managed to finish half of the question properly (the first one :P) and I still got in. That just goes to show that the maths quiz was really just a warmup and a bridge to the one on one interviews. The interviews was better than most of my group discussion, and I managed to talk about Climate Change question pretty well by addressing multiple perspectives. Hope that helps :)
What did you guys write about in the prac report? Also, do you guys know if they take the test into consideration or just the interview when selecting people? For example, would someone who got a really good score in the exam have a bit of leeway when it came to the interview?
ok, did you try out for your JMSS this year? How did it go? If, so what did you write about in the prac report?
Second round should be coming... but the chance is almost nil and I don’t think they’ll chose me.like i said on the other page, first round offers have until 4 to accept so second round might come tomorrow
like i said on the other page, first round offers have until 4 to accept so second round might come tomorrowBut the officials told us to wait until the end of October.
Ok, what kind of achievements did you bring in? Also, how did you answer the global warming question and the 'what area of science makes you most curious' question in the interview?My email had gone to spam so I only had one night to prepare (got in though). I got my main certificates but couldn't bring in some such as my musical instrument and swimming ones (i just decided to tell them XD). These main certificates consisted of heaps of debating/public speaking awards, LEGO team building, a 2017 video game challenge and some language awards. My reports weren't too bad so that was a plus. I am almost certain that I didn't get the first half of the maths question right but I don't really think it matters.

I answered the global warming question by talking about geothermal electricity, explaining scientifically about climate change and its effects and also more about solar rebate programs for those in the concession rate and having less than 60,000 dollars of yearly earning and rented property's and that there should impose a rule was, "owner- living homes," and those who own the rented houses, as well as government buildings and government, owned homes to have solar panels.
I was talking about astrophysics and that I wanted to become something in that field as it was the unknown and how we still know very little about the subject. I can't wait to see those who got in next year. (especially those who like astrophysics XD)
Wait... prepare...for second!?!No, I had a first-round interview it was just that I only came to know about it the day before!
I thought they will just fill in the places with ppl lol. I don’t know they have a second interview
