I'm not a student :smile:.

Your options are to take a year out and reapply to Teeside next year. If you do this ask for feedback from Teeside about why you have been rejected and see if you can build on that. Alternatively, wait for all your responses and then decide if you are happy with any of the offers you receive. If not, you can reject any offers you hold and apply to another uni using UCAS Extra. If you don't get an offer, you can add another choice. If you don't hold any offers by summer, you will be able to apply through clearing.

Just take a while to process your disappointment before deciding your options.
