    Yeah, probably going to do it with my friend because we didn't have chance last year with the exams and such. It will be good to do something like that TY! Teachers haven't said anything about it this year, yet.

    If you don't have any work done before you send in the application make sure you lie and say you have done a good bit. Make sure it's written to an excellent standard too because that really will increase your chances to get in. Having said that, you need to explain everything clearly so that the judges have a good idea of what you're trying to accomplish. It's extremely important that you consistently work on your project too; you won't know you've qualified until November but you really must have the work done. Just a head's up, been there a couple times myself and regret not having done more instead of simply putting it off.
    Thought that might help.

    Firstly, ensure your application is the best it can possible be, 550 places offered each year approx 3800 applications, 1 in 4 applications likely to get in. The quality of your application is important and that you demonstrate on your 1 page proposal that your have researched your topic pretty well. Visit the BT website and look at all the directions they have

    Best of luck, if you do manage to get in, it will be an excellent few days
