I need advice on what to do

I have sadly been rejected by all of my 5 choices all of them being pharmacy and not really doing well since it is stressing me out that i do not have a space for uni. The grades for the entry requirement were usually DDM (I did a national extended diploma of applied science and got DDD) so its higher than the requirement however its my gcses that are bad I ended up with a grade 4 in english and very bad grade 3 on maths (It was during covid which was a bad time) Im unsure what to do next and unsure if clearing will help. Will there be pharmacy courses for clearing? I have a bad feeling they will be filled up already once clearing opens on june 5th

Have you considered retaking those gcses?

Would a gap year be an option? You could retake your maths GCSE and possibly work in a pharmacy as a counter assistant to get some insight.
