EPQ for Medicine

I am currently in year 11 about to write my GCSEs and I was wondering whether I should do an EPQ in A - Level. For my subjects, I choose Biology,Chemistry and Psychology.
Does anyone also recommend any universities to aim for or have a look at?

I personally really liked doing the EPQ, and it's a good thing to write about in your personal statement to show your interest in the subject, however most russell group unis and unis with high entry requirements don't consider your epq grade in the application process. I'd personally recommend it as it gives you an idea of how to do your own research + present your work which you'll probably be doing at uni.
