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
