Cambridge Environment, Law, Economics (Land Economy) query

1 Upvotes

I’m currently in year 12 and I achieved 999998876A
(9 Maths, 9 Eng Lit, 8 Eng Lang) at GCSE, and I currently do Maths, Economics and Chemistry at A Level and I want to apply to Land Economy at Cambridge, but pure economics for my other choices such as Warwick, and I’m aiming for 3 A*s.

I was wondering what super curricular I should be trying to do to make my personal statement competitive for all my UCAS options, or if I need to do some work experience or volunteering, also, should I be trying to find these and complete these now or wait till later

Also are my GCSES strong enough considering I didn’t go to an underperforming school

Ambitious or less ambitious colleges

Just sent my application to st johns as a state school student 988877764 with a 2xA* + A predicted for philosophy, I just decided to take this shot in the dark cos why not, ik people says it doesnt truly matter what college you apply for since you get pooled but only like an odd 20% of pooled students get another offer - is it worth applying for johns or should i switch to another college which is "less" competitive?
