So I am going to be taking a gap year, haven't applied for deferred entry. I planned to do better for A2 but that did not go well. I will be getting low grades like BCD. I want to ask, if you can apply to Universities saying that you want to retake a few exams to bring your grades up to A*AB standard or A*AA. Will they be okay with it or will they just reject me straight away. I did have extenuating circumstances so not sure about this.
