3. Activities provided by students must demonstrate leadership skills, personal development and dedication through extracurricular activities (see website for examples).
4. Students must remember to answer all parts of the reflection questions, including how their activities link specifically to their decision to apply for a degree at Macquarie University and how they will make a positive contribution to engagement with the Macquarie University community.
- Double-check all parts of the application are included and correct before submitting, as no changes can be made afterwards.
