Are these super/extracurriculars good enough for Oxford? Help?

hi,

i'm in year 12 right now, just finished my june exams, and i was wondering if my supercurriculars and extracurriculars were good enough for law at oxford? any advice would be much appreciated

for context, my subjects are economics, business and math. my country (the uae) doesn't really have a lot of internship opportunities for law as it's a highly restrictive field, especially for expatriates like myself.

my current list of super/extracurriculars is:

- finalist for my country's national debating team (top 50 from 800 applicants)
- won best speaker at national-level debating competitions
- chaired and organized multiple MUN conferences
- co-founded my school's law society
- editor-in-chief of my school's newspaper
- part of the tedx team
- did virtual simulations of a law firm employee
- did yale university's 'a law student's toolkit' course via coursera
- placed in the top 1% at the oxford press's essay writing competition
- student council prefect and (hopefully) sc president next year!

i've also read many of the books in the recommended reading list, listen to the 'law in action' podcast, which i plan on talking about in my personal statement.

All sounds good, don't worry/stress so much! The biggest thing to focus on is the pre-admissions test for law (you mentioned law, so I assume that's what you're applying for?) and writing a good personal statement using the info and experiences and reading listed above :yes:
