Should I take a gap year?
Hi guys 
I was hoping to apply to medicine this year but my volunteering is not the minimum 6 months, nor do I feel that my application will be successful. If I take a gap year, I'll have over a year of volunteering in an elderly home and disabled child's group. When I apply next year, there will be no worry about predicted grades as well.
Please give me some advice, I don't want to apply it means 4 straight rejections, which would be devastating for me
