1) No

2) Yes, it is sensible to go to university, but it is not sensible to study a subject at university if there is any doubt that you will achieve a good degree from doing so. If you would achieve a better degree through doing psycology, then do that instead. While aviation degrees might indicate motivation, they are to a large extent unproven to help a flying career, and carry huge risk of being not interesting to a pilot wannabe, as they cover non-flying areas of business/engineering.

3) Work hard, have loads of extra-curricular activities up your sleeve that indicate teamwork, and demonstrate motivation towards an aviation career - perhaps by working at a local airfield. Army cadets/CCF/Scouts/sports - all are good.

PS - learn to type in longhand - text speak is a bad habit when you have a keyboard
