I’ve posted on here (and A2C on Reddit) before but a few people told me my ECs weren’t well rounded enough for a T20. My main focus is UK unis but I would like to see what I can do to get in the US as well because I’ve wanted to go to college in America for a while, for a reason I can’t seem to really place- just the vibes? (Maybe it’s just because of all the TV shows I’ve watched lol) How can I improve them over the next year? Majoring in Economics from the UK

I’m working towards a diploma in singing for musical theatre, and maybe also a classical one if I have enough time before applications are due. This puts me at around undergrad level- so competetent enough to get into most top conservatories.
I’ve won a couple singing competitions, the most notable of which was a county one where I got to meet Prince Edward which was really cool iwl.
I’m trying to find work experience but I’m not old enough for most opportunities until junior year (y12) and they are pretty few and far between post Covid.
I play piano and a bit of guitar - but not competently enough for it to be a spike, I really really love my guitar though.
I was in a school musical - played the witch (primary antagonist) in sondheims into the woods which was fun (but also a lot of work ontop of school and the fact that sondheims music is absolutely mad). Everything was put together in 2 and a half months, with hours of rehearsal after school every day.
I did a public speaking grade 8 (the highest grade) qualification with the London Academy of music and Dramatic Arts- one of my speeches was about the UKs cost of living crisis and the other was about the redevelopment of the London Docklands (which were in complete economic decline) into Canary Wharf (London’s financial centre - or rather one of them)
Most Economics competitions enter next year, and I am actively searching for work experience. I plan to enter the KPMG Young Economist of the year, the National Economics Olympiad and any other available competitions at the time. I don’t currently take an Economics class (not offered as a GCSE) but I have been studying ahead for the A level.
I also tutor one girl from my school who’s been struggling a bit (friend of mine, two years younger) and I’m currently in the application process for volunteering at a local library, and volunteering/ tutoring more kids in the local area with a company.

If relevant my current predicted grades are 99999999998. With the old system that translates to 11 A*s.

Sorry if this post was a bit discombobulated it’s 1am and I can’t sleep so I thought this would be a better use of my time. (
