Extracurriculars section of UCAS

Hello,

I'm going into Year 13, currently working on the extracurricular activities section of my UCAS application and I could really use some advice. I've participated in several programmes, including:
Exeter Scholars- definite contextual offer
Surrey Scholars- definite contextual offer
Queen Mary Futures
Sutton Trust Online (not the law pathway)- could result in a reduced conditional offer at Notts
Sutton Trust Law Apprenticeship- could result in a reduced conditional offer at Notts
(One of the Sutton Trust is enough for the consideration of reduced conditional offer at Notts)

The challenge I'm facing is deciding which activities to include, particularly since the universities I'm applying to (in order of preference) are:
Queen Mary
University of Exeter
University of Nottingham
University of Leicester
University of Surrey

However, I’m concerned about whether I should include the Queen Mary Futures programme. Although Queen Mary is my top choice, the programme doesn’t provide any specific advantages, and I don’t qualify for any other contextual offers either. My goal is to study Law (LLB), and I'm unsure whether I should emphasise the Queen Mary programme less, prioritise it since it’s my first choice, or focus on one or both of the Scholars programmes. Alternatively, should I replace one of the Scholars programmes with a Sutton Trust programme, and if so, which one? (However, Surrey is my safe option just to let you know)

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! I apologise if this message is a bit of a rant—I'm just really anxious about making the right decision.
