I'm really struggling to decide what university to go to.
I applied for deferred entry as I'm taking gap year, but the university I would really like to go to is one that I didn't apply for this cycle. I have already made firm & insurance choices, and while I wouldn't mind going to either of them, neither are my top choice. Can I pull out of an offer after making my choices? Bearing in mind I'm not starting until 2017, the universities will have plenty of notice.
I'm thinking of applying to my top choice next cycle, as well as re-applying to the universities that accepted me this cycle. Do you think the others would give me an offer again after pulling out? Is this a wise decision? I'm worried it might be too risky to give up the places I have but I would regret not even applying for my top choice.
