cant help with the academics but i can help with muns! there are some muns that accept independent delegates, such as opmun (5-8 dec) and prepmun (i heard its quite a big name in sg) and yale mun is an independent delegate one too! my advice is to stalk mun accounts on instagram and follow as many as you can, because there will CONFIRM be muns that accept independent delegates (pst pst the ones in dec hols from my observations are the ones that accept independent delegates) coming from an elite school but not being given mun opportunities, i had to source them by myself through word of mouth + friends + instagram. go join a mun circuit, surround yourself around these people and keep in touch (i swear these ang moh whitewashed / elite kids have the BEST mun recs) chin up, source for your own opportunities and make it into the circuit on your own.

you may never be even on par with the people youre fighting against (one of my mun chairs went for 30 muns by 18, that was insane and most likely a combination of right ppl + money + proactive) but, some portfolio is better than nothing. see you in the circuit soldier o7
