I am almost done with my application, were is still a lot I don't know so maybe ill be asking a lot of questions in this chat since you guys seem to be a bit more knowledgable that me.
while my grades are good they are no where near as stellar as both of yours.
GCSE: 8,8,8,8,7,7,6,,5,5
A level predicted: A*A*A*
EC: head boy in high school, grade leader(my school had grade rank I don't know why), volunteer work at local church, hall captain in sixth form, English literature exemplar award (dunno how can't even spell) , tutoring GCSE, track and field and rugby, half marothons winner(Tesco and cancer research), went to national fro basketball with my school ages ago, and completed the imperial college recommended EDX Course.
although I have a fair amount I can potentially talk about the arent unique at all, they are just opportunities I took, unlike the opportunities that you both created for yourself which is insanely impressive.
BTW I am only applying to MIT because its really the only school I would move to the US for and also don't have enough time to do another application this month.
oh I also have had a part-time job this year Aden last year but I dont know if that is a good thing or bad thing for US colleges.
