What activities can I do at home and over the summer to get ready for university?

If you still have to apply to universities, then engage yourself in voluntary work or do an internship. Don’t sit at home but be out there getting to know people, network and engage yourself in different activities happening around you. If you can then go to a summer school and meet teachers and other students there and see how they are building their profile to apply to institutes.
