What would increase my chances of getting into University?

I want to study psychology in university, Bath, Southampton, Surrey and Royal Holloway are my top choices and I want to know what I could do over the summer to increase my chances.

I'm currently studying AS psychology, chemistry, physics and photography (don't ask, I'm dropping it anyway) and I'm attending an FE college summer school at Cambridge Uni to do arts and humanities (which includes psychology) but I'm afraid my predicted grades will only just make the entry requirement which might not be enough because it's so competitive.

I have the summer, so what can I do with myself? Also I'm planning on doing some volunteering but I'm not sure what to go for yet.

Update:

I'm not deficient in anything, just wan't a leg-up with summer activities

    speak to your local social services or mental health department they should be able to help you or put you in the right direction!! p.s save as much money as you can, cuz going to uni costs a bomb and try not to get a student loan as u end up paying more than u owe and u will be paying for it for the rest of ur life if ur not careful!!

    Source(s): my friend did it!! and she is still paying for loan 5 years later!! thankfully she got the degree and is now a consultant in our local mental health suite at our local hospital! very well paid!

    Your best bet would be to contact the relevant department in the Universities you are interested in and ask about their entry requirements. If you find that you are deficient in any particular area, then you can do summer courses to bring you up to scratch. You can apply before you are fully qualified, but advise them that you are taking the necessary make-up courses.
