I only got a pass at grade 6 violin is it worth it?

I was going through my educations bit and thought about adding my grade 6 violin. I want to get into Manchester university and I’m not sure if a pass in grade 6 violin is worth even putting on since they don’t use UCAS points for applicants. Should I still add it?
It takes less than 5 minutes to add it.

It’s unlikely to be massively influential but it won’t hurt (and might help if you miss your offer conditions)

Hi @Hktli0

Grade 6 is an imprssive feat. It does not hurt to add it into your application. You can also mention it in your personal statement as an example of dedication (Make sure to link it back to how it would help you on the courses you have appliesd to if you do include it). Please note that universities will likely want to see proof of the achievement so make sure you know where your certificate is. Unltimately the choice is up to you, though.
All the best with your applications
