This was back in 2023 when ai checkers weren't as good, or they just didn't check for ai in general. Fill it out properly, obviously, but I think the extracurricular statement is more of a tick-the-box requirement than something they actually rank applicants on. That being said, I'm not entirely sure how the extracurricular statement works so don't quote me on any of this. I just had some volunteering stuff I did through school, and some debating stuff on mine.

This is what it says on the website:

Applicant must demonstrate each of the following qualities through at least two of the activities (activity examples are listed further below): Leadership: mentorship, coaching or leading a team, collaboration and teamwork skills, empathy and self-awareness. Service and community engagement: positive benefit to others and active engagement in the school, local or wider community. Contribution and commitment: genuine connection with your chosen purpose, persistence and dedication to manage self and/or work with others to achieve a goal. Initiative: independent thought and action; ability to anticipate needs. Self-efficacy: self-awareness, personal learning and development.

So just make sure you satisfy the minimum requirement and have at least two of these and I think you're good.

How time pressured is English Adv Paper 2?

Looking at it now, 3 essays essentially with only 40 minutes for each...

Cant be easy.

Cant be easy.

For each essay aim for 10 mins per body, setting aside 10 mins for the introduction and conclusion. Get used to cutting your essay down on the fly cause, in my experience, you won't be able to get all of it down. Also remember as much of the essay as you can, so you won't have to spend as much time thinking.

oh so it's more based on how convincing ur application is

oh so it's more based on how convincing ur application is

I generally just don't think the application is that deep. From my understanding, they just want to know you've done at least two leadership activities. Fill it out properly, but don't spend too much time on it, because after all, they have to look through thousands of these applications and just want to know you satisfy the requirements.

 

[HazzRat]

Lots of people I know got their Macquarie early entry with average grades and pretty standard leadership activities. It's different per course, but I don't think it's that hard to achieve.
