Hey guys, I'm a James Ruse graduate of 2020, and currently I study at Usyd for med. I tutored 4 kids, all of whom got into james ruse transfers. I too was a transfer, for entry into year 11, so I figured today I could provide some help in terms of extra curricular and other tests too. Something that really sets a difference after you get your edutest results is how outstanding your application is. Personally, I tried 2 previous times and I didn't get in, so from experience, I've collated a few extracurricular activities you could go to. However, most of these activites have finished as of this year, so I'll upload those in November, so this is the last remaining prestigious one.

Take a look at Harvard Crimson Global Case Competition. Here, I placed 2nd, and this made a huge difference for me in the interviews, as the Ruse principal herself said that was one of the main deciding factors. I'd like to mention that not a lot of people sign up to this competition, and even though you do have to pay a fee, there are promo codes, which I have managed to secure and show you guys, and they provide participation certificates and other grand awards that will really create the difference on your CV. Even if its a participation certificate, it really does make the final difference for applicants at the interview stage, especially as one as prestigious as Harvard University. And paying the fee is worth it because at the end of the day, if you do end up getting in, you'll be at a school you like better, and that's all that matters. If you do win, you get crazy prizes of up to $1500 and you get like mentored by some of the prestigious university staff, so thats extra on your CV, and also you work in teams so dw about being or speaking alone

Here is the promo code that I managed to find: AMB4381
I just signed up so I'm not allowed to send the link, but just search up Harvard Crimson Global Case Competition and register
I'm pretty sure registrations close by the 18th or something, so if you're interested, apply quickly. Sorry for the long message You can look at the poster i stole of my edutest student for more info

science is mandatory for all schools k-10 so its not an elective

 

[spiderlemonade]

the only school that has some form of science as an elective is nsg. but it's accelerated investigating science and they only let you do it if you're rlly passionate about science

Do you think it is possible to gain entry for year 9 if your supporting documents aren't amazing, but you do really well on the Edutest?

If you don't mind sharing, what were your edutest results?

i'm not who you asked but that pretty much describes my application for entry into year 9 ruse, i got in without having many extracurriculars(pretty much just piano and lunchtime clubs) but with good edutest scores and average reports. year 9 is the best year for transferring, theres much more competition in other years as there's less spots

Ohh thank you for the info. What were your edutest results (if you don't mind sharing), and how many academic achievements did you add to your application?

I got 4 superiors and 1 above average. As for achievements I only put 2 AMC awards lol, one was credit and the other was distinction

not sure about the global case comp but I done the Harvard crimson global essay competition and it wasn't really good... it felt like a waste of time since you have to pay $30 for feedback. It not that prestigious bc literally anyone can sign up and there are barely any guidelines for what they're looking for in a 'good' essay. There was also a 200 word limit, which is nothing for an 'essay'. But this is just regarding the essay comp, and I did get a certificate for participating, the topic weren't that bad either. Just for clarity, the comp is run by Harvard University, rather that Crimson Education got permission to use their name and resources or at least that's what i've been told.

Did that help you get in anywhere?

no

no

Oh would you reccomend it still?

try debate if you're after awards (especially under premiers comp) as it's more widely recognised and rewarding because after I started debate I genuinely felt better at listening, expanding my vocab and develop stronger critical thinking. Again, my feedback is regarding my experience with a different harvard crimson comp which may not apply to others.

I actually do debating at school but I haven't participated in any comps but there is proof that I'm part of it

 

[Slayon]

sorry i love glazing debate lmao but here are some other english-y comps you can try: QCEC (royal commonwealth society), national highschool mooting comp (bond uni), your world comp (british council), Young Justice (law society of NSW), the evatt comp (UN), the voice comp (UN), news in my neighbourhood (edu NSW)

I haven't done the majority of these although i am doing the voice comp this month (and debate) and plan on doing evatt and young justice/mooting compe

 

[AppleCarrott]

[Viva_student2025]
