ucas points arent really relavant anymore, most unis use a combo of personal statement and grades so focus on that

OCR fsmq will give you ucas points, as will musical instrument or voice grades and i think ballet if any of those interest you. HPQ is the equivalent of an EPQ for GCSE students so taking that could be really good prep for EPQ. I honestly would doubt you have the academic maturity for epq, focus on your GCSE courses for now 🙂
