Gap year before Architecture??!

Is taking a year out before undergrad architecture worth it? I have heard that then uni you study arch isn't as significant due to the vocational nature of the subject . Therfore I don't know if I should take the year out and apply somewhere else or go straight into architecture at Westminister?

You don't need to worry about taking a gap year for most subjects including architecture. Keep your drawing skills up to date during the year and you will be fine. You could ask Westminster if they will defer entry to 2024 or you could apply in the next cycle to five more options.
