reappyling to ucas
hi,
ive already sent off my ucas and have now decided to take a gap year in order to do better on my admissions test. I just had some questions.
1. can I reuse the same personal statement and teacher references or will the universities somehow know that they've been reused?
2. do I need to create a whole new ucas account to reapply or can I just start a new application with my current one
3. can I ask all my teachers even after I've left my sixth form to reuse the testimonials from before?

What is ur GCSEs and a level grades? What is ur AS grades?
i got 8,7,7,7,7,7,6,5,4 in GCSE, and I'm predicted A*AA.
1) Yes about the PS but you would probably want/need to update it a bit. The reference needs to be rewritten - because 'we predicted he'll get ABB in this year's exams' would obviously look a bit silly if you are applying with achieved grades.
2) You have to re-start a new application - you can't just change the date on the current one.
3) Yes, very normal - you'll need their 2026 entry buzzword to link it to the school so just email the UCAS-person in the autumn to ask for that and check its okay (just to be polite).
Have you already Withdrawn your application for this year, or are you going to wait until you have all your offers etc, or even wait until August?

i havent withdrawn because I'm still waiting on LSE even though I'm sure it'll be a rejection. Also, do you know if I can ask the universities that have given me an offer to defer or will I have to apply for them all over again as well because I'm holding offers for queen marys and city and wanted to use those for my next application

You can't hold an offer/place and reapply. You would have to cancel any place (even if deferred to 2026) before you reapplied. Most Unis do not mind if you cancel/reapply so you could reapply to some of your 'this year offers' if you wanted to.
