Hi there
You are very intelligent young man. Your stats speak for itselves. First, have a faith in the process between now and on results day. Patience is the name of the game in here. Some people with multiple offers will soon have to firm and spaces will be created for fine students like you. There is always the clearing and unfortunate students who will not make the grades on results day. International course such as Spain costs £15K at leas per year to be paid by your parents I guess is alot of money. Gap year is good option so you can get more work experience but for now think positive and focus on getting good grades. Good luck and have your chin up.

Thank you very much for the positivity and the advice. I will take a gap year as I realised earlier it is too late anyways to study abroad
