I have received an email from Warwick asking me for information regarding gaps between my studies. I have applied in mid-December, but other than this email, they have neither made me an offer or rejected my application. They just asked for a brief summary of what I had done during these gaps. Why would they want to know this information?
Well they just want to know why the gap. Employers do this too at interviews. They just want to get a better idea of you as a person. Just be honest about what you did. Better than telling a white lie and then getting caught out later on and then face being thrown off your course.
