    Will not doing an EPQ limit me?
    I haven't chosen to do an EPQ, but I'm getting worried that not doing one could set me back considering that I'm applying for BA history which is obviously really competative.
    These are the universities I'm considering:
    Sheffield
    York
    Nottingham
    Manchester
    Liverpool
    Hull
    Lincoln

    Do any of these give any particular consideration to applicants with EPQs, or do they consider it a good but inessential thing to have? Obviously it shows interest and ability similar to the skills needed at undergraduate level, but is it viewed as just an extra thing?
    I do have an idea what I'd do an EPQ on, however I only found out close to the deadline.
