Is anyone else doing a non-career related EPQ?

Hi guys,

I'm doing an EPQ currently but it is not related to my future career at all. I was wondering if anyone is currently doing the same thing, or if someone has previously done the same and whether it disadvantaged you at all?

Cheers,

Taylor

Last year I did this and it didn't cause any issues.

If you don't mind me asking, are you currently in university?

I'm in year 13, I did my EPQ in year 12. I got a B in the EPQ though, which has meant that unis have given me reduced offers.

Did any unis ask you anything about the content of what the EPQ was written about? Was it stated in your application?

You have to include the title of it in your application, but I think universities only care about the grade.
