UCAS application setup

hii im setting up my ucas profile currently and i have a few questions:

do i need to add my national 5's in the "education" section? or just my highers?
(i mainly ask this because my nat5 grades were HORRIBLE and im abit embarrased of themπŸ˜…)

what sort of stuff should i add in the "extra activities" section, and also if i dont add anything will that put me at a disadvantage?

finally, in the "employment" section, my parents dont allow me to get a job so i dont have anything to put in this section, will universities care that i dont have any experience?

thanks :smile:

You must declare all qualifications obtained, no matter how shocking they were.

Extra activities tends to be for outreach etc. The overwhelming majority of candidates won't have anything to put there. It's more for tracking and you won't be put at a disadvantage.

Employment is similar, you won't be marked down for not having anything.
