Supercurriculars Vs chosen uni course
Does anyone know if super curriculars mean everything in your personal statement because i am doing super curriculars for potentially a science course as well as me doing science a levels. But i thought if i have a last minute change and want to do like a law course for example what does it mean in terms of super curriculars as all the ones i would've done would've been science related so my question is can i still mention them as i would've done it but for a different strand if you get what i am saying. As i would have barely anything for law

Science content won't be much value in a personal statement towards a law application, no.
This includes discussion of science A levels or discussion of science research you've done outside of school.
For Law, the best PSs I have read have gone and read a book about being a lawyer or have been keeping track of some interesting cases in the supreme court and then in their PS they write analytically about their thoughts and reflections on these.
Before you write anything down for your PS, you need to decide what route you'd like to go down in the future. If it gets to December and you're really not sure - my advice would be to not apply and either do a direct-to-clearing application in the summer if you've made a decision by then, or take a gap year.
There's no point starting a university course that you aren't quite sure is for you, with no clear plan of what you'd like to do afterwards either.
