Is a gold in UKMT SMC actually at all impressive to a top Uni?

In year 12 at the moment, just completed the SMC yesterday and am fairly certain I will get either a gold or at worst a silver, but I'm pretty sure I didn't get into the first round of the Olympiad unfortunately. I want to study computer science at Oxford, so just wanted to know whether they would consider it at all of any interest to them, especially considering I want to study computer science not maths (although I suppose it is important to indicate a good mathematical ability for computer science).

I don't think Oxbridge will know if you got gold or BMO1/2 unless you mention it in your PS.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my original post. My question is more to do with whether a gold in the smc is actually even an achievement worth putting on the ps in the first place.
