DofE Weightage

I’m not sure if I should do DofE i’ve heard it’s better to do it than to not do it but is it really that important if i’ve done other extra curriculars?

i think do it because even if uni's don't rlly care that much abt it it's still a valuable experience where you can make lots of memories

Universities aren’t interested in DofE.

If you want to do it because it sounds interesting or because you’re lacking work experience and think it might help with finding paid work then those are good reasons.

Out of some misplaced idea that it will improve your university applications - not a good reason
