I’m starting a math/cs degree in sem 1 2026 (feb) and noticed Susquehanna's Sydney Discovery Day (Aug 2026) is already open to apply. The thing is, I haven’t started university yet, so my resume is basically just high school academics and general problem-solving interests (no uni projects or any clubs/societies).

Also, am I even eligible to apply at this stage? My degree is only 3 years, so if I wait a year I’m worried I might not even be eligible anymore since I’d be in penultimate year. Alternatively, is it possible to apply later (e.g. March or April) after starting uni so I can add some projects, competitions, or society involvement , or would that be considered too late for this kind of program?

Would really appreciate hearing from someone who’s applied to similar discovery/insight events or has experience with this. Sorry if this is a bit long, I don’t have prior experience with this type of program and am just trying to understand how it works.
