Ive gone for the 'I'm not well rounded, I want to study maths' tactic where I have lots of maths extra curricular and details about things but NO other things. I got rid of all the things I wrote about drama etc because they arnt relevent and I needed space lol.
Pretty much same as me. Only in the last parapgrah do I pretty much bullet point ECs and societies, work exp.

I literally wrote 1 sentence that just reads like all the things I do other than maths.
My reference is mentioning most of that rubbish anyway If it's not maths then who cares?

Exactly lol, I think EC's matter less for maths anyway tbh =p. I've been speaking to a mate at Cambridge (trinity) and he was like yeh, they rly dont care...

Don't other universities care? (Warwick, Imperial, etc.)
I have mentioned ECs unrelated to maths very slightly for the reason above.

Agree. I understand that olympiads, etc. are good to mention but non-maths stuff will be irrelevant for most (but not all) good unis.
ec's are good to mention...more if your applying for cambridge rather than oxford.
Why? I am curious. I suspect ECs (unless spectacular and maths related: e.g. IMO team/ squad) will be largely useless in obtaining your place. It will depend mostly on interviews and performace on MAT/STEP. Very low test scores in these do not compensate for non-mathsy ECs.

ofc very low test scores arent compensated my ec's whether maths or non-mathsy lol. during my cambridge residential stay....corpus cristi....they clearly said yes- no neccessary ec is needed for a maths applicant but ec's non-mathsy being mentioned may stand out as few mention it....and being able to link it somehow with your course...so maths is even better! oxford dont give two ***** about it....after speaking with few people there.
'I play football, which really relates to maths as you need to be able to keep track of the score using addition'
Linking your hobbies to maths is always going to sound contrived.
what an idiot! ofc like the example above....it is contrived. i just want people to know ec's which arent related to maths can be mentioned. maybe sometimes you cant link it with maths....e.g. volunteer at a charity shop....
p.s.: counting the score is the only time you can use maths
