Volunteering at a care home would be super curricular, interacting with senior residents who may have healthcare needs, feeding and personal care tasks etc

Medicine is one of the few subjects for which extracurriculars can be useful but generally for Oxbridge it may be worth focusing on supercurriculars

There's this Instagram page that's really useful DM them and ask. They have a student that will be a first-year Oxford student in October. Their Instagram page is: https://www.instagram.com/edify_learning/

Biology and Chemistry Olympiads and competitions? Reading into Medicine (perhaps check recommended reading) and importantly, if you can, work experience

These are just ideas but there are many things you can do, provided you can link them to necessary skills etc :smile:

What kind of extracurriculars and super curricular do I need to do to get into oxbridge? I’m in year 12 and I volunteer at a charity shop that’s it.

Hi,
Maybe look out for essay competitions throughout the year, Oxford themselves run some, as do Cambridge. Does your school offer the HE+ programme?
The University of Groningen offer webclasses, one in medicine which is really good. Next one should start in November I think.
Read books around an area of medicine you're interested in is a very good idea too.
