Applying a year later?

Hi, just wondering if i applied a year later with grades BBB, what advantages would there be?

Would i not be accepted stright away as i have not met the typical offer on prospectus i.e ABB/AAB?

Would i be accepted striaght away or likely if i met the typical offer the year after?

Should i sacrifice a year out to go to a better university if my a-level grades were better?i.e apply better universities year later with better grades?

Considering University of Liverpool; Electrical Engineering with Electronics.

Kind Regards

You may be accepted onto course which you've slightly missed the offer for, but not always. It does depend on how much you miss it by, whether your PS and reference are good, and whether you had any extenuating circumstances.

Only take a gap year if you're going to do something worthwhile. You need to plan it before you go.
