    Firming Biomed even though you plan to take a gap year?
    Hi,
    I have received no offers for medicine this year and I am currently holding an offer for biomedical science. I have 'firmed' it already and will soon apply for accommodation etc...
    The offer is AAB. I plan to take a gap year if I receive AAA to reapply for medicine. On results day, is it possible (if I receive AAA) to cancel my contract with the uni, even though I firmed it?

    Thanks

    Yes it is, they can't force you to go there. You might lose out on things like accommodation deposits though.

    I have never been able to read your name correctly without saying it twice :sigh:
