Natural Sciences Application Components

Hello, I am a Remove student, I have 9999999999 for my GCSEs plus an A grade in Additional Maths GCSE (the highest grade). I have been ensuring I have lots of amazing things to put down for my application so I have been running and writing most of my own annual science booklet with research papers, called ‘The Pursuit of Knowledge’, I achieved a top 8 position in the national Neuroscience essay conpetition run by Imperial College London and judged by Professor Steve Gentleman, I have done many research projects like on schizophrenia, been and written reports on a lot of lectures likes a series about mathematics and neuroscience, chirality, I am doing an EPQ (big research project) on proneural glioblastomal cancer, bronze awards in Chemistry and Physics Olympiads, online course in the biology of cancer and completing another in medical neuroscience, International Young Physicist’s award project on boomerang motion, doing a course in nuclear physics, upcoming physics bowl, American Maths Challenge, Trinity Maths Challenge, Science Saturday School teaching underprivileged children volunteer work for a mentoring award programme at my school, local STEM essay internal shortlist, and will get some work experience at a cancer research drug development company. So I think I have a lot of great things to mention for my personal statement too! I am doing quite well in my A levels, a couple of personal problems held me back a bit this year, but end of years are coming up and I am working really hard, like when I was studying for my GCSEs. I do Maths, Further Maths Mechanics, Physics, and Chemistry. I am planning on applying to Imperial for Biochemistry and maybe physics, UCL for neuroscience, and natural sciences, and Cambridge for Natural Sciences. Does anyone have any advice for me? Revision advice or anything in general you think I should know? Do you think my application is of a high standard with these components?
