Hi there,
So I originally planned to attend University in the 16/17 cycle however due to personal circumstances I decided to withdraw quite late on.
As such I am now on a gap year where I am hoping to get some work experience before I reapply next year.
I was wondering what aspects of my application will change since I'm reapplying.
For example:
- Should I completely rewrite my personal statement or just amend areas with new information?
- How would my applications to universities that I've previously applied to be affected (especially if they rejected me last year?)
- How much topping up in my subjects should I be doing? (I'm hoping to study Computer Science with Mathematics btw)
- I will be applying to some quite prestigious universities (Imperial, UCL), how much will they mind that I've taken a gap year?
Any information you can give me would be really helpful since I'm pretty in the dark about the whole thing and spend quite a bit of time worrying about what I don't know.
Thanks for your help.
