If I don't get an offer from LSE then yes, unfortunately I will be taking a gap year - as I only have offers from Reading and Sussex and I'm not prepared to go to either. I don't really want to take a gap year, I'd much rather go to uni this year, but I won't have much choice!
I have 8A* and 2A at GCSE, and if I manage to get AAAA at A-Level, then hopefully I'll have a good chance next year. I'd be applying for two courses: Law+Anthropology and Social Anthropology; I wouldn't go for straight Law again.
