Transferring & Repeating 1st Year

Hello,

I am currently thinking to transfer to Kingston University from Greenwich and repeat my first year. I have looked at the FAQ and filled out the UCAS again. I am worried as I am past the deadline as I was still unsure if I should transfer.
I am a bit confused about the route I should follow, do I put the same PS (Personal Statement) or modify it to add why I am transferring? I know the tuition fees will be considered in the gift year, I am guessing the 'gift year' doesn't include the maintenance loan right?

I am hoping this application will be accepted as I have read here that if you are repeating your first year in another university you have higher chances, is that true? I have also been accepted initially to Kingston, so my grades shouldn't be an issue.

Is there anything else I should know while transferring?

Thanks in advance!

Maintenance loan isn't affected by previous study so you should have that for all years of a new course.

Your PS should talk about your current studies if you're not changing course but you don't have to go into detail about why you want to transfer. As long as your current university and course are listed in your education section that's all that's required.

Have you spoken to your tutor at Greenwich about them providing a reference?

I have just requested the reference after talking to my tutor, that should be fine. For the PS, I am staying on the same course just swapping universities and I think they already have my old one. I read that people recommend explaining the transfer but I'm not sure on it. Also I don't really understand how 'gift year' works. Do you mind explaining a bit?
