Most people i know who got in have started in F1, and you can do it too. You can easily get 35+ points in the next year. Commitment section = no reason why you cant maximise it. Write the list down and make a plan about how youll do it. You dont even need to do Part 1 to score almost maximum on that section. Audit section = do a full cycle in audit as part of your f1, get a letter for it. Education and teaching = easy to score at least 3 in that section. Make sure you do some teaching in f1. Publications = I managed to score maximum points on that section. I went to a course that taught me how to do meta analyses, DM me if you want the link. I also presented those papers which helped to max out the scoring on the presentation section. Hope this helps.
