从去年大考取消开始，去年和今年的A-level分数其实都是有点虚高的。用这个比较虚的A-level成绩申请的话，就会导致可能所有人都拿着4个A*申热门专业，那么你就必须有一个比别人多出来的更强加分项。
今年不仅竞赛变得特别热门，EPQ作为也是背景提升的一部分，变得更加重要，绝大多数的大学都表示认可这个项目。
大学很喜欢这种学习过EPQ的人，因为学生的学习能力会非常强，甚至有一部分大学在官网上直接表示可以降分录取持有EPQ的学生。
那么英国主要大学对EPQ具体政策是什么？
鼓励学习EPQ型
牛津大学
不会计入offer条件，但承认EPQ提供的培养相关研究和学术能力的机会。Extended Project Qualifications(EPQ)Where applicants have undertaken the EPO, this will not be a condition of any offer but the University recognises that the EPQ will provide an applicant with the opportunity to develop research and academic skills relevant for study at Oxford. Candidates are encouraged to draw upon relevant EPQ experience when writing their personal statement.欢迎EPQ申请，鼓励选择一门参加，有助于培养大学需要的独立学习和研究能力。但不会作为offer要求，因为不是所有学生都有机会学习。
- We welcome the EPQ and would encourage applicants to take one as it will help to develop independent study and research skills valuable for higher education.
- We recognise that not all students have equal access to them, so the completion of the EPQ won't normally be a requirement of any offer made.
不会计入offer条件，但EPQ可以为申请增加价值。另外CA要提醒大家，LSE非常重视PS的质量，EPQ是PS素材的重要来源，所以对于LSE的社科申请，EPQ是十分值得选择的。帝国理工没有给出统一解释，需要以具体专业、院系为准。不过拿化学系来说，认为EPQ是对教育背景非常积极的补充，但是不会用于面试筛选和offer条件。Does the department recognise the Extended Project Qualification? The extended project qualification(EPQ)is a really positive addition to your education. However, we do not use it to shortlist candidates for interview as we recognise that this option is not available to every student. An EPQ would also not form part of an offer nor be used in making adjusted offers. lt is of immense value though in terms of your own personal and skills development, and can provide additional support to your personal statement. The EPQ does not offer any intrinsic advantage to applicants though.入学要求里不包括EPQ，但UCL承认它为独立学习做准备的价值，这对大学学习是很关键的。The Extended Project Qualification does not form part of our standard entrance requirements, but UCL recognises its value as preparation for independent study, which is key to university-level study.EPQ能让A-level学生为大学学习做好准备，并可能有助于提升UCAS申请质量。PS和面试中，可以提到EPQ，来展示大学要求的一些品质。The skills that students develop through the Extended Project are directly relevant to and useful for university-level study. Students can refer to the Extended Project in their UCAS personal statements and at interview to demonstrate some of the qualities that universities are looking for.医学专业表示，如果想证明自己的知识广泛性，可以学4门A-level，或多学一门AS，或者学一门EPQ。鼓励申请者在PS中讨论个人EPQ研究，体现该项目如何帮助自己为华威大学所选学位做好准备。offer条件中一般不会包括EPQ。Applicants presenting the Extended Project are encouraged to discuss their research in their personal statement and reflect on how undertaking the project will help prepare them for studying their chosen degree at Warwick. Offers will not normally be made conditional on achievement of an Extended Project.约克大学表示，一些院系会对有EPQ和3门A-level的申请者降分录取（reduced offer）。比如说，你申请的专业成绩要达到AAB，因为你的EPQ成绩达到B或以上，那么可能给你的offer条件降低一档，也就是ABB的offer。Extended ProjectQualification(EPQ)We recognise the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification(EPQ)and its role in preparing students for success in higher education. In acknowledgement of this some of our departments will make a reduced offer where the EPQ is taken alongside three A levels or equivalent. For more information see:利物浦大学表示很多专业，可以为有一门EPQ的申请者提供alternative offer。解释一下，如果申请者提供EPQ并满足offer条件，会给一个standard offer，再加一个alternative offer。也就是offer条件可以从 ABB降到BBB+EPQ达到A。The University recognises that the Extended Project Qualification(EPQ)will provide an applicant with the opportunity to develop research and academic skills relevant for study at the University of Liverpool. Candidates are encouraged to draw upon their experience of undertaking the project when writing their personal statement, particularly if the topic is allied to their chosen degree course. Many of our programmes will make an alternative offer for candidates who have undertaken an EPQ.伯明翰大学跟利物浦类似，EPQ达到A，也可以降分录取，医学、牙科专业除外。比如标准offer AAA的话，两个offer条件分别是AAA和AAB+EPQ A。How can an EPQ benefit a UCAS application?The EPQ is worth a maximum of 28 UCAS points,the equivalent of half an A Level.At the University of Birmingham,applicants who take the EPQ and meet our offer criteria will be made two offers: the standard offer for their programme of choice; and an alternative offer which will be one grade lower plus a grade A in the EPQ. Please note this excludes our Medicine(A100)and Dentistry(A200)programmes For example,where our standard offer is AAA, the two offer would be AAA; or AAB plus A in the EPQ.This alternative offer is applicable if you make Birmingham your firm choiceExtended Project Qualification(EPQ)We don't require the EPQ for entry although we encourage students to complete an EPQwhere possible,as we value the development of skills in independent study and research that it can offer.Some academic departments mayinclude the EPQin an alternative offer where this is judged to be in a subject area relevant to the chosen degree course and is completed alongside three A Levels.More information is available on our Access Sheffield page:Improve your chances of getting a placeStudying the EPQ could make you eligible to receive an alternative offer from BathEPQ大概相当于半门A-level，PS和面试中可以提到，某些课程会把EPQ A的成绩计入入学标准。Students could use their project at interview stage for higher education and/or in their UCAS personalstatement. Certain courses at the University will count A-grades achieved in the extended project towards their entry criteria. You will find more information on individual course pages.EPQ/IPQ成绩达到A，可以降低一个等级录取，除了医学和牙科。比如AAB offer申请者，如果有EPQ/IPQ条件将改为ABB+EPQ/IPQ A。Extended/International Project Qualifications(EPQ/IPQ)We look to support applicants who are taking the EPQ/IPQ qualification by recognising an Ain the EPQ/IPQ qualification to lower the entryrequirements by a single grade for all programmes bar Medicine and Dentistry.For example AAB offers for an applicant taking the EPQ/IPQ would be changed to“AAB from 3A levels or ABB from 3Alevels and a grade Ain the EPQ/IPQ.今天就先给大家整理到这，而英国接受EPQ降分录取的学校还有很多，罗素院校降分的可能比较少，G5院校鼓励学习但不会计入offer条件，但是你可以在PS中和面试中作为重要学术素材来源，EPQ已经成为内卷的英本申请新趋势。EPQ是A-level以外的独立证书，每年3万多人学习，学生在老师的指导下，选择一个自己感兴趣的课题进行研究性学习，EPQ的优势明显优势：
- UCAS最高28加分
- 牛津剑桥G5官方推荐
- 世界名校降分录取
- 大学核心能力提升
- 可多次参与取最高分
EPQ成绩也是在8月公布前发送给UCAS，并转给大学。
