If I am too ill to go to university this year will they give me a defered entry?

I'm so sorry to hear you're unwell. I had to defer my third year of university due to stress and anxiety making me lose a lot of weight and therefore get quite ill. I had no problem deferring my year, I needed a doctors note obviously and had to write loads of statements and things but it all went smoothly. I know you're in a bit of a different situation because you haven't gone to uni yet but I really think they will let you do it, just explain your situation and say that, depending on how you are in August/September whenever you need to let them know, you would obviously like to go to their university but may have to defer the year. You'll probably find they've come across something like this before, if you take into account how many people go to university and how many people unfortunately fall ill Good luck x
