Chance me?

<p>I do have some achievements in the field of Math, but I’ll elaborate on that in my application form rather than brag about them here :D</p>

<p>The nearest thing that I’ve come to winning an olympiad is that I was captain of the Math team that won the Geeta Memorial Math Cup in 2004, which is like an all-State Math competition based on the unexplored recesses of Math [mostly miscellaneous].</p>

<p>However, you’re right in saying that my dismal performance in the olympiad does not explicitly show my skill at math.
However, I’ll try and demonstrate that through my paper. The school award should also count for something. :)</p>

<p>As for submitting my paper to SSEF, I was made aware of them earlier this year, only to know that the registration deadline had passed.
Moreover, because my school is only 2 years old, there was no backing from the authorities. The school is only focused on the curriculum at the moment.
That is perhaps the reason for the non-existent math olympiad training, which I’m told is an elaborate procedure in other Singaporean schools.</p>

<p>However, my Math teachers has always encouraged me to pursue my interest much beyond curriculum, in stark and covert violation of the ‘stick to text’ policy enforced by our crappy Head of Staff. :slight_smile: I think he has some good things to say about me in his letter of recommendation.</p>
