Election post
I’m interested in this role because I love academic competitions, which I haven’t had the chance to be involved in recently. During my high school years, I won a medal in my home country’s National Mathematical Olympiad, and represented my country in the International Mathematical Olympiad 2020. I hope to gain leadership skills when organising venues, deadlines and intra-UCL selection tests, teamwork skills when cooperating with my subcommittee and committee from other universities and organisation skills for the final stage of the Cup, when our team will face off against other universities.
Last year, I was involved as a subcommittee in organizing the Anatomy Cup, which is also another reason for why I am interested. I took part in validating the exam used for the intra-UCL selection test, as well as executing said test, by organising and invigilating the students during the exam. I also helped in preparing the questions and answers that were submitted by UCL to the final stage of the Anatomy Cup, which were then used by the examiners at KCL. Lastly, I travelled to KCL with the team on the day of the exam, where we communicated with the KCL anatomy committee and supported our team.
I would prefer to recruit more students who are interested in competing by way of earlier and extensive promotion. I believe that some “prestige” could be built around the competition and that by selecting our UCL team, we can do a better job at preparing them by holding “mocks” or tutorials.
