Engineering Applications

I'm looking to apply for engineering at university for 2027 and my grades are decent (predicted A*/A for maths, further, chemistry and physics) but I'm unsure what extras i need to make my application stand out. I'm mainly aiming for the Mechanical and nuclear engineering degree at Imperial, which I know is really competitive but I'm unsure of how many extracurriculars you really need to secure a place.

To be honest you don’t really need extracurricular activities for engineering. The most important thing is strong academics will keep your options open.
If you want teaching yourself a script based modeling language such as Python would help, perhaps even try and make up an engineering problem to solve in the script.
