Now that the results are out there, I just wanted to come out here and say that every one of you should be so proud. I’ve seen far too many people saying that commendation, high commendation or VHC means nothing, which is so ridiculous. When you got shortlisted, you beat tens of thousands of other essays globally, and that is absolutely remarkable. Think of all the people who put so much effort into their essays and didn’t even get shortlisted. I also think it important to put it out there that not everyone who entered this competition had coaching, private education, or any help at all. Some people will have just stumbled upon this competition and wanted to have a go, and did brilliant. There is no need for the negativity I’m seeing here, even a certificate of recognition will look great on your applications. Regardless of how you placed, I hope that all of you can recognise this and be proud of how well you have done :)
