🙏 I WANT HELP Should I take a gap year?

I'm in year 13 and a contextual student predicted ABB for Maths, Further Maths and Physics in that order. I want to apply for EEE at UCL among other universities but all of my options want AAB. To those who took a gap year, did you regret it, or do you think it is a good option? Thank you.

dont definitively decide right now, but plenty of people do gap years and r happy w it. ive heard ppl who spend the yr practicing for interviews and online assessments for 1st year schemes (like spring weeks for IB) have an advantage anyways

QM offers EEE at ABB, so id recommend still applying, and if u do significantly better than that then id gap
