Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

what are my chances at getting into computer science at cambridge and imperial?

hi, I'm doing maths, computer science and economics at A-level and an EPQ on coding an app, I've done the bebras challenge and the senior maths challenge and am doing as many experiences as I can outside of school. I'm also doing really well in all my subjects.
I know that both universities are really competitive but I'm in year 12 and I want to know if it's even worth applying, and if so, any tips on improving my chances at getting in?

I think you should consider doing Further Maths or physics. The subjects you're doing right now are fine but the competition is very High and if you look on these links (https://www.whatuni.com/degrees/computer-science-ba-hons/university-of-cambridge/cd/56990314/5582/) (https://www.whatuni.com/degrees/computing-meng-hons/imperial-college-london/cd/54954214/3813/) you'll find a very High percentage of people do further maths. Your subject choices do meet both of the uni's criteria, but the competition is very High. For example the Applications to admissions ratio is 20:1 at Imperial. But do what you think works best and I hope you do very well
