[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 220510, member: 36777"] I agree with you that the expectations are perhaps unreasonably high for year 12s - I did not even know the name of more than a handful of firms at that stage. That said, I also think their expectations are simply a reflection of the levels of competition for these opportunities. While not as many year 12s will be applying for these programmes when compared to VS/TC applications later down the line, there are also significantly fewer spots available at this earlier stage. Furthermore, you can probably count on the fact that most of the people who are already applying at this stage will be particularly driven candidates. Thus, they will likely invest a lot of time and effort into their applications, which further raises the bar. All this is to say, unfortunately you will have to aim very high in terms of the quality of your applications even though you have had limited experience with the process. [/QUOTE]
