How many people were accepted from your schools?
Title: Re: Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars
Post by: n.f on September 06, 2009, 09:31:00 pm: 2 from my school, I'm not sure but I think it may have been two from every school?
Title: Re: Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars
Post by: minilunchbox on September 06, 2009, 09:45:15 pm: As far as I know, only one person was accepted from my school.
Title: Re: Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars
Post by: iamdan08 on September 07, 2009, 02:45:15 pm: I was '08 and had 2 people chosen from my school.
Title: Re: Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars
Post by: appianway on September 08, 2009, 06:08:33 pm: Only 2 were selected from my school, which was quite ridiculous, considering the calibre of the cohort.

We had to give a talk to the year 10s about it on Monday though :)

Some of the girls who got rejected from my school are absolutely amazing individuals.

It's not one anyone would have heard of; it's classed as underrepresented most years.

(I only skimmed through it, I coulda missed a big part of it)

Post by: khalil on September 09, 2009, 05:40:42 pm: pfft I'm a KLD scholar and its quite pathetic, the lectures are crap and the food is soggy and healthy
Title: Re: Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars
Post by: xXNovaxX on September 09, 2009, 05:45:51 pm: mmmm soggy food
Title: Re: Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars
Post by: n.f on September 09, 2009, 05:48:45 pm: I guess the library card could be useful if you're close enough to the uni; I agree about the lectures. The biology one that I attended mid-year was just about multiple choice traps for an hour (yawn).

It's about one and a half hours into the uni from my house. Next year when I'm doing UMEP the opportunity will be there.

Post by: appianway on September 09, 2009, 06:01:29 pm: I think the KLDYS benefits revolve more around the preferential entry into biomed/commerce, the guaranteed exchange scholarship, the networking and the prestige of being selected.

Not really. Yes, there are some parts that are old, however there are plenty of new facilities such as the Sidney Myer Asia centre and The Spot. Checkout this lecture theater:
