tips on getting into computer science at uni (hopefully at a russel group)?

Yeah it’s about end of Sept/early Oct normally I think - so if you’re applying for Oxbridge the results may come out after deadline.

theforage(website) can provide virtual work experience for computer science, read books, watch movies ( I watched the imitation game it was cool), learn things yourself such as python or javascript, read an article. Make sure you have good predicted grades, most unis are very demanding for this course in terms of grades especially if you're applying for MENG. Also start thinking of the universities you'd like to apply to now, often they want a plethora of other things, Imperial only gives offers wanting u to sit the STEP 2 paper, I didn't actually look over this before I applied and now I'm just sadly waiting ahah I haven't done further maths at all and ill have to learn it all my self to actually sit it, So yeah a lot of research before you choose where you wanna apply. Goodluck

Does anyone have any extracurriculars/supercurriculars they recommend for me as a person who wants to go to a russel group uni for computer science (specifically at UCL) and any other things I should be doing to increase my chances of getting in? So far all I've got it is online work experience for Fujitsu, attending literature society at my school and leading a session, silver/bronze dofe and I entered an essay competition that I haven't received results for yet?

Ouch! I do Further Maths and I'm feeling the hit with STEP II. How are you coping?

I've just sent you a private message detailing most of the things mentioned on my application and I think this will be highly constructive given that I have offers from the institutions you are trying to target (not UCL specifically, though I was briefly considering it, but rather for Cambridge, Imperial, Edinburgh, Manchester, Durham).
I don't feel comfortable sharing it with you on a public forum so opted for private message instead. Hope you understand.
I forgot to mention this but my GCSEs were 9999999988 with the 8s in English Lit and RS. I am predicted 5 A*s in Maths, Further Maths, Computer Science, Chemistry and EPQ. However, in hindsight, if I were to go back to year 12, I would have dropped EPQ at the drop of a hat.
If I get in, I will be the first person in my family to study at a UK university so since no one else has had this experience of applying in my family to the top UK unis, I chose to throw myself in at the deep end head-first. I really enjoyed the EPQ experience and I've picked up loads of useful skills but there were times where I simply felt that it was a burden.
