first of all why on earth did you not apply? second of all just take a gap year and re apply! your gonna spend so much money just to re apply for medicine when you can take a gap year and get a job so you can make money instead
so many people say do not ever go into biomedicine with the intention of doing med after, its a stupid idea. I took a gap year and applied for medicine with a foundation year and have 3 interviews.i also got a job and making money alongside

yk what i acc regret it everyday I defo should've given it a shot but oh well. I think i was also too influenced by my friends & teachers and ended up just applying to law instead but honestly i literally have no interest in it. I might still take a gap year even tho I don't rlly wanna stay at home for another year, just weighing out my options rn

Honestly taking a gap year isn't so bad cuz I'm on one rn but the first few months were hard cuz I had no routine and it was super weird tryna find a routine, but it's only now after 7,8 months where everything is now slowly picking up pace
I applied to med for 2023 entry got rejected with no offers in March and I said again and again I'd never do the UCAT ever but in September i did it and now I did 1 interview with 1 more next week. Don't be afraid cuz gems don't form without friction, likewise we aren't refined without difficulty
