In my first year of college I still continued to be counselled, it was difficult for me to let go of what had happened. So I had further counselling EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. I didn't fully finish the treatment as I was missing allot of college so I had to attending my appointments they discharged me for not attending. The reason for me not attending my appointments was my form tutor who was giving me allot of grief for missing college and he was well aware of my circumstances. I got allot better. I am a lot better. Unfortunately for me the positive attitude towards college which included revising all the time like I would have liked to have normally done came late. I don’t think I have done as well in my AS for medicine, I don't think I will get all A's I will defiantly get at least one but not in every subject.
I really would like to re-sit the year whole year and start again at a different college, if I stay in my current college my application isn't going to be accepted anyway due to my personal tutor’s attitude towards me. I know the way he is, medicine being so competitive I know that it is down to grades and references and personal statement if I resit I would get the grades I know I can do anything once I set my mind to it and I can write an excellent personal statement, his reference however would affect me.
I'm going to ring all the universities who I know accept resits and take their advice, but I AM SO SCARED.
I wish I had taken a year out before I started college to get better, I wish I had control over my circumstance but I really didn't, I wish to start fresh. I would hate to believe my past that I had no control over would affect my future in such a horrible way.
Universities who do accept resits due to Extenuating Circumstances, I am going to call the universities and ask if bullying falls under that and weather my counselling session could proof. When I talk about bullying I don’t mean a little back chatting, I mean extreme (made sure I was never in college, got as many people involved, rumours of me committing suicide, self harming, taking drugs, running away, violently threatening, If I was in school made my life hell)
But I really want to do medicine and re-sitting the AS year would help, but what I come under the extenuating circumstances and would resetting the whole AS year make it difficult for me to get a place?
Does anybody know anyone who has previously completed an AS year resit for medicine?
