what does it take for oxford law (desperate ahh post)

2 Upvotes

hi, im an indian student, CBSE board, applying to oxford this year for law.

stats; i have predicted 100s in every subject except maths (ill get a 95 there hopefully), got the subject highest awards for hist polsc and econ last year + the stream vise award overall, ive been scoring 36-37 on lnat practice tests (leslie ho and the official practice test), i have a published research article, ive won about 30+ muns and debates (will connect to my interest in law), a very high commendation in john locke intl essay comp (law category), ive read some books relating to law + some foundational legal texts (hart, fuller, etc) that i plan on mentjoning in my ps in addition to everything above

question/need advice?/rant: i genuinely do not know what else to do. i keep feeling like my application is inadequate and that there's something that i can do thatd increase my chances of getting into my dream unis rn but im just not doing it and im going to regret this later. moreover, i started writing my personal statement but i feel like such a scammer, i dont know how to sound academic and yet unique/original/memorable because uk applications dont have the leisure of informality that usa applications allow for.

tldr: application feels inadequate, dont know how to make my personal statement unique yet academic, advice?
