  • 9b. Why?
  • We did a Dragons Den presentation where we created our own product, focusing on technology advancements in 2035 utilising future technology advancements – Such as camera sharpening, and hologram utilisation within your phone. It was one in a life time experience that I believe one should not miss out on ever.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
  • Apply. Don’t hesitate and believe that you can get in. I didn’t believe that I was capable in comparison to the talented to people I had met during the project. However it is the belief in your self and the bravery that can get you anywhere in life. Don’t be afraid, because you won’t lose anything applying, but by not applying you will lose opportunities and gain regrets.
