hey guys,
Like ctkid i too wanted a cadetship last year, and luckily i got one too. If you are serious about it, it is recommended that you attend the CA info night. Its a good opportunity to have a talk to the reps and get better understanding about the program (even though most of them will tell you the same thing), as well as getting to know all the companies and practicing your interacting skills.
The night turns out to be quite fun if you go with some friends. Its great for refilling your pencil case and collect a years worth of stationary. Do try and get as many pens as possible. Great for lending those cheapasses at school that keep asking for a pen. Last year, the pen to get was the EY pen...get them and you will know why. KPMG packs were also good, the clear pencil case was perfect for exams... So just go, blend in, get some info food and pens and have a fun night. Dont worry too much about the applying bit yet, just make sure its right for you first.
Best of luck everyone
