Ucas application and i am not applying

I am planning to not apply at all this year . Is this okay ? I want to apply for medicine but I am not applying due to personal reasons. Our school does not help with the application after your graduation. DOES ANYONE THINKS IT IS A GOOD IDEA?

You are aware that you can apply for deferred entry? Lower chance of success and might be a bit limited in your options, but it is doable, and probably better to try to sort out your medical school place as early as possible.

It's nice to have your school's support for a second UCAS application but not necessary, as long as they're happy to give you a reference you're fine applying independently.
Even if you just use this cycle as a trial run it’s probably a good idea to submit an application. Worst case you get four rmed ejections and apply again next year as you planned.

As above, you can always apply for deferred entry, or ask about deferring later if you get to the point of receiving an offer.
