extra/supercurriculars maths
hii im going into year 12 this year and i want to take maths at uni, my school already does the UKMT so i was wondering what would be the best
things to do towards that goal, idk which uni i want go to (oxbridge hopeful) but i want to be able to do the majority of them in year 12 so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas (btw there is already a maths club at my school so running one isn’t really a option)

So a mix of doing "harder" maths / problem solving (nrich, ukmt, ritangle, gardiner ...), some reading (pop maths, history, interesting topics, ....), watch some videos, ... An oxbridge application needs to have a decent application, so a personal statement which shows youre interested in maths, but youll probably spend more time on practicing for the intervew/tests and entrance exam. So the first part, doing "harder" maths, hits both.
