- Study in 10th or 11th grade
- Be born between 2 September 2006 and 1 September 2008

Application tips
Here are some useful tips that will help you compose a quality application:
- Our application has multiple pages, visible in the menu. Don't forget to fill out each of them!
- Don't postpone your essays until the night before deadline. Although the application should only take 2-3 hours to fill out, give yourself a couple of weeks to really think through your answers.
- Prioritise finding people who will write you recommendation letters. Paste their emails into the application, and they will receive a link to a mini-form just like yours. Make sure they have enough time for this task!
- Check the grammar in your essays and ask someone to read over them. A friend, family member, or teacher may give some useful advice!
- Be yourself. We want to hear about your achievements, dreams, and values, so give us a chance to get to know you.
