I am currently writing my personal statement for UCAS, but wanted to know what I should write my essay on.

for background, i want to apply for computer science i nthe UK, and the two major achievments/hobbies i have are Game development and a research paper i got accepted for in an international conference.

Game Dev:
I started my game dev journey in late 2019, and have continued to create video games and code for them. Currently I have 7 game projects that are already published online (on playstore and itch.io), and i was thinking of talking about how i really want to pursue computer science as i have always had this interest in coding and its challenges.

Research Paper:
I have been accepted for an international conference publication, which is based on using Deep learning and AI to help distinguish different types of lung cancers.

I am not sure at this point what to do. What i can do is list these both as events which peaked my interest in computer science, but maybe it might be better for me to write something specific (either one of the two). What do you think?

your research paper is more impressive so id say just talk about that

but at the same time there is not much to talk about, that is the issue

#

and considering i am writing around the question, "What excites you about the subject?", should I not be writing multiple points?

Both of those topics can be included

As motivation to take their course
