Hey,!
I'm looking to apply to Oxbridge (just finished my GCSEs). In terms of grades, my expected are 9s, and an L2d* in design technology. I'm not exactly sure what course I want to do yet, but mathematics at oxford or something like biochemistry, natural science, basically something stem related, mainly chem/math.
I was just wandering what activities I should get involved in to boost my app, as I'd like to get as much done during Y12 as I can. I've began to prepare for the UKMT senior math, which I havent done before. By prepare, it's more me going over past papers, got silver twice so far (on practice papers, I've never actually done a proper UKMT Senior math simple because I didnt know about it). I participated in the intermediate back in Y10 too, but that was sprung up on us on the day, and I got a silver there too. My school runs a programme called the access project which provides us with tutoring, and I chose math as my subject. I participated in the St John's critical thinking programme, and partook in the summer school they offered too. I'm currently in the online tutoring programme offered by the Lucy Cavendish college from Cambridge. In terms of math, i'm definitely good, just nowhere near the best. Current A level choices are chem, phy, f math, math.
Any advice on things to take up over the year would be great! I know UCAS is changing their personal statement system, so is it still worth starting to write mine seeing as I could potentially take chunks out and use it for the new questions approach?
