Resits

I'm really sorry to hear that you're not feeling great mentally right now. If you're thinking about taking a gap year to resit your A Levels, it's important to know that it can have both positive and negative effects on your university applications. How you manage your time and the context you provide to universities will play a big role.
Taking a gap year to improve your grades can be a positive step. It allows you to focus solely on your studies, leading to better overall performance. This break also offers opportunities for personal growth through work, volunteering, or other meaningful activities, which can enhance your personal statement and demonstrate maturity.
However, some universities might perceive this as a delay or a break in the continuity of your education.
To mitigate these concerns, it's essential to clearly explain your decision in your application, showing how you have used the time productively, and obtain strong references from teachers or employers who can vouch for your improved academic performance and readiness for university. Researching specific admission policies of your target universities regarding resits and gap years will also help you make an informed decision.
Hope that helps! Best of luck with whatever you decide! 😊
