Gap year question???
Hiya!!! I got into Cambridge, UCL and Bath among other unis this year but I realised this summer that i applied to the wrong course for me! I didn't really have time to think about what I actually wanted to study because sixth form was so stressful and hectic. I only really found my dream course 2 weeks ago and by that time there was nothing left in clearing.
So yeah, now I'm reapplying to different unis for 2018 and for the first time I can say that I'm genuinely excited for the future and for university life!!!
My only concern is regarding age since I'm 19 and I will just have turned 20 when I finally go to uni (my birthday is in September). I really hope there will be other people there who will also have taken a gap year! Do you guys think this will even be an issue? Am I just overthinking everything?

No one cares. There will be loads of mature students who will be much older than you. No one can tell the difference between a 19 year old or a 20 year old.
No one has asked me how old I am and I took a gap year. Actually, both of my flatmates took gap years too. It's quite common.

Oh that's great! Thanks so much for your reply!!! That's what I thought but it's so nice to hear it from someone else!
