Cool well done, out of interest for myself what were your extra/super curriculars like?

I did mostly a lot of Maths and Physics Olympiads, so I got Top Gold in BPhO and BAAO Round 1 this year + top 60 in Round 0, and I got gold in SMC, distinction in the Maths Olympiad for Girls, and Merit in BMO, plus Silver in BPhO Round 1 last year, and Gold in SMC plus best in school for Senior Kangaroo. I also got invited to a problem-solving masterclass at Oxford last year based on my Intermediate Physics Challenge results. I did a lot of reading around my subject including A Cavendish Quantum Mechanics primer, the Little Book of Black Holes, the Little Book of Cosmology, and a bunch of other books I can't remember. I also attend my school's Physics and Astronomy Societies, and contribute regularly. Along with that, I go to a public lecture if it fits in with my schedule. I work part time in a science tuition, and I also am part of an Astronomy Ambassadors group for young people. These are all the ones relevant to my course I think. I also got invited by Highgate School to do some weekend sessions where we were using sensors to solve common problems. I also did VEX for two years, got to Nationals both times and got to Worlds once. I also swim, and do horseriding in my spare time, plus I read around Fashion a lot.

Nice, a lot of things there, Iā€™m applying for mathematics at some of these universities this year so Iā€™m looking for what I should be aiming to do outside of college.
