I am currently a AS student and I'm aiming for Oxbridge. My main career choice is medicine/biomedicine ( biology related stuff) and the school has offered me to do EPQ or DOFE silver award. I have heard that schools like Oxford and Cambridge don't look at UCAS scores that much, so therefore EPQ might be kind of useless. Will EPQ still help me to go into these unis or will it be better if I do something else in that time? Also, I am already doing volunteer work in a care home and also in performing arts club (music related), so will it be better to sign up for D of E or not, since one of the four points of D of E silver award is volunteering and skills? (to be honest, I don't want to do epq and dofe that much because it's to expensive, and Im kind of scared that I won't have enough time to study but I'll do it if it can really boost up my CV)
