Gap year isn’t advised. Even if you do get an impressive internship, they’ll look at it as a wasted year or a lack of ambition. You’d be better off going to UCL and transferring. Transfer students have a MUCH easier time getting admitted, and the admissions board will be impressed if you’ve already secured a spot at a prestigious university and are getting good grades there. A good portion of students drop out of college after 1-2 years, so the universities look for transfer students to fill the gaps in. The admissions rate will be a lot more forgiving then.
