I can't get in to my favourie uni :(

So I have submitted my UCAS for medicine, and i have applied to Imperial, UCL, kings and St georges.
i was happy with my personal statement and many teachers and med students said it was very good, and I made it very sciency since medicine is a science course.
however, I have just see that Imperial (my FAVOURITE UNI) really focuses on extra curricular, but I wrote my personal statement mainly on academic qualities. I even took out the sentence about my cycling :frown:

I feel so dumb. I can't call my ucas back because it has gone to universities. Will imperial even consider me at all since I didn't include my extra curriculars, which include cycling and drawing.
however, i did include things like being a prefect and young enterprise and my part time job, would these count as extra curricular?
please help :frown:

They won't care if you smash the BMAT. You can talk about it in your interview but you have to do well in your BMAT

do you think being a prefect, my part time job and young enterprise counts?

If your teachers mentioned your extracurricular activities in your reference then you should be fine.

Can't tell if serious or satire.

If serious - don't be silly, it'll be fine. You won't get rejected because you didn't talk about cycling or any other extra-curricular in your PS, that's not how it works.

If satire - don't give up the day job.

Im being serious. why would i joke about this.
and Im not being silly, the reason I am concerned is because extra curriculars are so important to this uni!
