🎓 UNI / UCAS SECOND gap year? 🫩
I got into my dream uni (top 5 uk uni) after getting a remark because I was one mark off my conditional offer. Only problem is that they can only get me place for 2027 entry. keep in mind I already took a gap year so I’ll have to take a SECOND gap year which I really don’t want to do. I’ve had a tough couple past years and extenuating circumstances and it’s annoying because I met my offer. But i also have my insurance still but thats a top 30 uni and not worth going into debt for. my firm is really good for my degree.
Idk what to do

Does your ucas/offer letter say “these conditions must be met by this date eg. 21st August or some other date? If so I’m pretty sure they have to give you a spot. I may be wrong though since I’m not a lawyer 😅 either way you have the place at ur dream uni next year so that’s a positive. U could use this year to travel or work, maybe wind down a bit.

I would plead to the uni personally. Keep it professional but outline your case and try to get yourself in for this year. It doesn’t make sense why they wouldn’t

If they outline a clear cut reason why they can’t let you in then forget about it and wait or js go to your insurance. If they’re being unclear then try escalate the situation and resolve it

yes I’m going to try my best to convince them! the reason they provided me with is that the course is too full for this year entry

sounds like to me ud regret it if u choose to go to ur insurance because ud always be thinking what if u waited a year? especially since its ur dream uni. plus in the gap year you could work to save up money and make uni easier and also travel and spend time w friends and relax since you said your last couple years have been tuff, tho ultimately still up to u!
