Nowadays there is a lot of
emphasis on their application letter to UCAS in which they can write about extra curricular things and why they want to do a course. This seems a pretty good start to me. The letters have meaning, but not loads. I didn't do all that well in my degree, but I am one of the few people who carried on in the subject despite it being a bastard to do

haha I'm glad
that they obviously ignored mine. I was far too lazy to do extra-curricular, and besides was told the better universities care very little about it
