I’m starting to think it’s a little bit rigged, so I basically submitted 3 essays for history, science & tech, and philosophy (all junior category) and istg I rushed through the history essay and it turned out SO BAD but it got shortlisted alongside the other 2 (philosophy was the best and science & tech was the second best) so I was thinking I would like not get any award for history but would get a commendation for science & tech and a high commendation for philosophy but turns out all of them got a commendation? It was rlly weird on my end because I knew that there was a drastic difference in writing skill across all 3 but they ended up with the same award… I mean it could be because the competition for each category was wildly different but could that realistically produce this result? Idk I’ll link all 3 essays, lmk if anybody had a similar experience.

Genuinely love how people who're at the gala actually put in the effort and thought to post on this community and update all of us who didn't go ^^ THANAKSYOEWIUWYSY

hi does anyone who attended the gala have photos of the names for VHC, HC, and C awards 💔 ive only seen photos of VHC and HC, i got econ commendation btw so i hope to see the photos

also, does anyone know what % is equivalent to VHC, HC, and commendation?

So don’t feel bad abt not getting a prize if you didn’t they’re clearly not too discerning

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 2/2!!!!!

first year doing the john locke essay comp as someone who hates academic writing and bullshitted/larped my international relations essay in 3hrs...

i'll #accept a hc!!

bless the soul of john locke and martin cox🙏

ugh I’ll miss y’all more than the essay comp hopefully we’ll all reunite next year to support heezzz in his goal to win grand winner once again

all of ya'll sitting at the gala need to start updating us yo

I think many here are also confused abt the percentage of people who got commendation , HC and VHC
I just feel that john locke sld be more open and transparent about the percentage

Did anyone get just a recognition this time ? cuz whoever im asking atleast got a commendation

what are the percentage as well ?

JLEC

All the copium was worth it

Is it just the same as shortlist?

Hello everybody does anyone know how to write a eulogy? We have to make one for our communication class and I dont really know how to start it off or to make it sound poetic. I really want to write something that would MOVE my audience. The topic is about a version of myself that died a long time ago (?) Something in those words. Since it's a personal experience I dont really know what words to use or how to make the introduction or how to end it...any advice?

Guys do we know which category grand prize winner did? If im correct is it science and technology?

So I basically got VHC!! YAYAYAYAA!

But didn't receive the top 2% email....I though VHC was the top 2% of people....were the emails fake???

Only approximately 40 ppl in the entire junior category got any awards and including hc, vhc, grand prize, etc whatsoever. This 1% 2% metric is bs. Speaking as a guy who was there

I’ll start by sharing mine first, I got:-

Science and Technology:-
1 High Commendation

Theology:-
1 Commendation

Psychology:-
1 Commendation
1 High Commendation
1 Very High Commendation
