When you say gap year do you mean you get your A Level results in August and apply that october?
Hey!
Just like to say that I'm taking a gap year and applying for 2018 entry.
I got BBCC on my AS and a really low UKCAT score.
Really disappointed with myself but I guess that's life; you don't always get what you want.
Anyhow, I plan to smash A2 exams and the UKCAT so that I can apply this year.
My plans for the gap year is to try and get a job in healthcare (really hoping to be in a hospital). This is not only to save up money but to also gain experience.
The last 2 months me and a friend are planning to go to Africa as her mom's friend has a medical practice there. I guess it's like gap medics but much cheaper IMO. Afterwards, I may really treat myself and go to Japan
Plus I'm planning to go to Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester and maybe a BMAT uni...
This is my plan IF I get the grades...so no pressure haha

Hi, this may a bit too early but has anyone decided that they will take a gap year and apply in 2017?
When you say gap year do you mean you get your A Level results in August and apply that october?

nice plan, good luck! Ike everything is dependant on the grades because if i do badly thats all my plans canceled
I'm losing hope of getting the grades , i feel like I've left everything so last minute and everything has piled on! 
sighHello
I was wondering if anyone knows any apprenticeships or placements that are 1 year long and can be done in a gap year. Also I'm planning on getting a few jobs- if anyone has any advice.
Thanks

Plus thank you. I hope you do well too!
Ik what you mean when you feel as though everything is piling up; I hate how these exams will determine what your future will be
However, if you're wanting to do medicine you have no choice but to stay positive and get the grades. Losing hope if the enemy here!
Again, sorry for the late reply
Hi, I've also decided to take a gap year and apply in 2018
My GCSE's are 4A*s, 5A*s and 2B's; my only AS was General Studies due to the new linear courses.
I have chosen to take a gap year because I didn't feel ready to go into medicine right away, I felt I needed some experience working full time in a hospital (so I'm hoping to work as a healthcare assistant or something similar) and after a lot of the talks I'd been to and research I'd done it felt like my GCSE's weren't strong enough to give me a shot.
I also loved the idea of studying abroad so I wanted to see if the fees in the Netherlands shot up after leaving the EU, and that unfotunately seems to be the case.
99% of my year group has applied to university and are getting offers, and I'm now wondering if it was a mistake to wait and if I should have just applied to a medicine-based course and gone through graduate entry.
Anyway I'm not set on it but next year I'd like to apply to Nottingham, Exeter, Plymouth and Newcastle. Possibly Exeter for medical sciences or Bristol for Virology and Immunology as a 5th.

No I didn't did you? I was going to defer a year but I didn't do very well in my UKCAT so I decided to apply this year and do it again.
