Hi,
I’m somebody who has recently just re sat their A- Levels, albeit not actually sitting an exam but nevertheless, now that I have my CAG, it is very likely that I will be offered a place for my firm choice studying medicine after missing out due to the moderation process but some students will be starting this year and some will have to start next year due to a lack of places. As that became an option for myself, I started thinking about taking the deferred entry regardless because I’ve had a lot of troubles in the past 3 years taking my A Levels mentally and I have never been able to actually stop and have a break. So I thought potentially having a gap year, starting next September and in the meantime I can get my licence, do some travelling amongst over things and then be able to start university with a clear mind. The downside of this of course would be that I would then be two years ‘behind’ people who I went to school with and of course it would mean I get to where I want to a year later.
Do you think this is a good idea or not, let me know.
