Duke of Endinburgh

[adi]

Has anyone here done it? I've just reached the age required for silver and hope to do it with my school (about 60 have applied and only 28 can go through, I've been getting good references from everyone, even my guitar tutor!).

aanyway, what have your experiences been. and does it really help you get into a good uni or get a good job or is all that lies?

it will look good on ur CV but it wont like help u that much in getting into a good uni. it will look good in ur personal statement. but i mean if u dont do it then u aernt really at a disadvantage if u get me.
