Heyy, I am yr 12 so I don't have the experience and all, but from what our school has said soo far...
Q1 ] About applying, not fully sure, but igg u could talk to a member of staff.
Q2] main concepts and any thing actually, but it can't be anything that you are learning now or during ur a levels ( example, not something in ur specification )
Q3] EPQ is basically self done and the support you get is limited+ you have to do all of this while doing ur A level stuffs, and some people fine it hard to manage all the subject and EPQ together soo many drop before summer.
Q4] Yes, it has helped.... a person from my sixth form had to get like AAB...or A*AB......and the uni made adjustment and made it to ABC after knowing that he/she did and EPQ and got a good grade in it.
