you'll be entering 3rd year uni soon, why not get involved too? :) and thanks for the info man. i mean unsw (where i'm planning to go) has lots of stuff catered to this, so i'm definitely looking forward to it. however i don't think there's much that a business student could contribute hahah at...

i'd love to do volunteer work overseas but i don't want to get sucked into the 'voluntourism' trap (tourism disguised as volunteering). apart from that, what skills could a 17 yr old possibly bring to developing nation (which is what I assume you're talking about) that couldn't be done by the...

LOL thanks! So true though man, I'm keeping as busy as I can but the days where I have no plans end up pretty dull

probably will. it's just i have 3 months of complete freedom ahead of me with minimal commitments. why not now? :)

oh damn brb burning my plane ticket to sierra leone

Hey everyone, Has anyone got any insight or experiences to share re: volunteering abroad? I'm very interested in doing so, and am avoiding the 'voluntourism' companies that do more harm than good as having to pay to volunteer is usually a big red flag. I'm most interested in travelling to...

Hands down gotta be squash. At first it seems lame, esp when the demographics are middle aged old men, but man its easy to pick up and learn, can give you a crazy workout, can be extremely competitive and is soo much more forgiving and quick paced than tennis. Also cheap to get into, just need a...

what's on this saturday? aren't they all on the tuesday?

i was considering med but 1) i got rejected from JCU 2) didn't think i'd 99.60 for griffith. 3) most importantly, in the period leading up to the HSC, i kind of realized i wasn't really thinking about being a doctor - i was just thinking about doing medicine i.e. i just wanted to be able to say...

hey man, i've noticed you're really good with latex. do you find you can write things up fairly quickly, or does it take too long? i find it usually takes me like 10x the time it would take to write it on paper. how do you get those diagrams btw?

hey drifting, a little late to the party here. first of all, congratulations on such fantastic marks! how did you feel your marks in eco reflected your expectations? when you walked out of the exam, and for the following few days, were you feeling like it was an average or even 'meh' effort, or...

before packing for MIT you have to do a few things: 1) get in. like others have said, it's flipping hard, especially if you're white or asian. 2) be loaded. student fees in America are no joke. if you satisfy 1) and 2) then by all means hop on the next plane there :D

I had my mind set on moving to QLD for uni for a while but I eventually had a change of heart. The application process isn't difficult. For nsw, you apply through UAC, for qld its QTAC, victoria VTAC, and i think all the others go under SATAC. all states use ATAR as their metric except QLD, who...

i've read the complete opposite from a number of sources, e.g. http://www.caseinterview.com/estimation-question-tips i guess the point of these questions is to gauge your ability to answer similar styled questions that clients may ask, expecting insight into the initial scaling or sizing of...

They definitely want an approximated number/figure, but not just a wild guess. Usually you come up with some sort of 'formula' and make a lot of assumptions. E.g. for "how long would it take to move a mountain 1 kilometre" you'd estimate the height and volume of the mountain, the volume capacity...

probs co-op or med suits usually not required but preferred anyway i'd also be curious as to know what q's they ask for co-op. i know it's focused around leadership and co-curricular activities but specifics would be nice. obliviousninja, any insight?

is ruser's being anti-social generally a thing? i've met a few of them and they seem to be pretty nice and sociable, and are more well-balanced than people from my school (a crappy public school) in that they tend to have a few more commitments going for them, other than just school. a couple of...

First and foremost I'd preferably like this q to be answered by and older BOS'er (i.e. pre 2014 graduate). So let's say I'm coming 2nd in English right, and the person who beat me did so by something minuscule; I got 93.4% and they got 93.5% which rounded up to 94%. Sucks to be me right...

on another note, who the hell is already doing mechanics? inb4 started 4U course in year 9 LOL
