<p>The original post didn’t strike me as “bragging”, it just seemed like a typical cc post. And yes, almost entirely irrelevant for UK admissions. I don’t see how the rest of us can be angry at a Canadian kid (a junior in High School, so probably 16-17) for not understanding the UK admissions process, that’s what we are here to discuss and help with questions. It’s very hard for young people who have lived their whole lives in the same country to understand how different other countries are.</p>
<p>The ONLY ECs (including jobs, volunteering, awards, etc) that will be relevant for admissions are those directly related to your intended major (as the Brits say, the “course” that you will be “reading”). So no sports, or poetry/literary, or anything not directly related to Engineering.</p>
<p>Also remember that it is really not practical to apply to BOTH Oxford and Cambridge, you will need to pick one or the other.</p>
