Woke up to see clearing, end of life.

Please, if you have time any helpful advice is welcome.

Hello everyone, I'm 19 years old, I got D's, E's grades, now in clearing. Had offers from all 5 universities.

Total study: (2 years college 420 ucas + 5 months of failed A level results 0-50 ucas).
Total time passed: 3 years

I did 3 full A levels As+A2 self taught (first time doing an exam let alone touching maths in 3-4 years) with a study period possible of 5 months, I spent the rest of the first year trying to raise the money to pay for the private exams as well as deciding what to do such as trying apprenticeships.

I have already completed college and finished with a BTEC on 420 ucas points which are worth nothing for the top universities.

My secondary school didn't inform me of the differences of BTEC and A-level, I wish I had known about it, now I feel like I wasted 2 years on a BTEC. If I resit my A levels It'll now be the 4th year of education to get into university.

I have 100UMS in some of the exams and then terrible 3-20UMS in the rest, dragging me down.

I've still been studying maths since May due to wanting to study STEP anyway in 2015. I'm fairly confident that I can get A/A* results if I resit the exams.

Also I've decided to change disciplines to Medical so I'm not sure if resitting for maths will be any point, but instead go to learn Biology/Chem etc.

My parents will be very unhappy if I decide to not go university for another year, jobs are very scarce in my area and I'm afraid that if I do go into work I won't be able to concentrate to ensure good grades. I feel like clearing isn't for me, I feel very unhappy and not ready to go to a place that I don't know about. What to do now?

Thanks for reading.

BTECs aren't a waste of time, you should do some research in to unis which will take BTECs. Some of the top unis in the UK do actually accept BTEC qualifications - even Brunel does.

so do both Oxbridge uni's and you can't get much better then those

In your position I would go into clearing and go to a university. You're putting far too much emphasis on this top university thing. Look at the links universities have to industry and that is what you want more than anything because of they have good contacts and partners then you know you're on the right track.

Holding off is pointless really. You will only get asked in the future why did you fail? Why did you do a BTEC and waste time? The more time wasted is more questions they will throw at you in interview. Go to a decent university, work hard, get a good grade, get a job and do a masters and then a PhD or whatever.
