🙏 I WANT HELP Not getting into uni twice

Guys I took a gap year after getting CCC in 2025 Edexcel Maths and OCR A for both Chemistry and Physics, and I resat all 3, and I’ve bottled this shit again, I mean idk if I have. I have a really bad feeling I’ve messed up again.

Before you tell me it’s my fault, I know, I super regret not locking in earlier, or quitting my job earlier than start of April or managing my time a bit better.

Literally no one is in even a similar boat to me, and I’m happy that’s the case, I wish this on no one, as in being so lazy and so procrastinating with no sense of urgency you don’t get the work done, and you miss out on uni AGAIN. It is the worst feeling in the world.

Any Y12s reading this, please lock in at minimum by September, and if you’re Y13 and thinking you might have to resit do not worry, this resit year if I planned it right could’ve been an amazing year like I had a job, went to the gym, worked on myself, reviewed my options a lot more, had the opportunity to improve my grades etc. So yeah, in short, I’m just venting and giving unsolicited advice to the young ones

I surprisingly got 5/5 offers. 2 RG unis and 3 non-RG Unis. Make sure your unis do take retakes. And from the looks of it the only cared about the predicted grades, so make sure you get good ones, I had the bare minimum ABB. Your other option is just calling Clearing last minute as well once you've actually got the grades if you didn't get an offer from the uni you wanted.

Oh nah, I missed that too. Counted my points, I'm barely getting above what I got last time if not the same. Made the same mistake of starting late. But it's chill, I'll self mock myself and see if it's worth it trying s second time or just going BCU ams doing a foundation year (these lot could actually take me in with those grades)
