So basically I have to make the decision wheather to take a Year out. At the moment I am in a mental health hospital and should be here till December. So would be hard to catch up so its been recommended I take a year out. But this worries me as applying to medicine with a year out I would have to explain about my mental Heath issues early on and I'm worried this will discount me straight of. If this makes sense. For GCSE I got 765AABBBC this was with a lot of exceptional circumstances though -I went into care in year 11 and befor that was at home with a very abusive parent (hence the mental health issues) had 52% attendance in year 10 but only 22% in lessons for example. So I'm basically looking for advice. If I took a year out I'd try and do as much as possible to help application. ECT. But will it discount my application all together. Thanks for reading
