@Sa9777 Thanks for the advice. I’ve decided to apply to around half of the schools I previously did, and around 6 new schools, lowering my standards a bit to give me a better chance. Due to this I’ve started leaning towards the idea of a gap year, but your advice is making me unsure. In a way I prefer the idea of a gap year as I would be applying to join from freshman year instead of a year in, and would hopefully be making some money for college rather than taking out a loan for my first year at UCL. But if I’d have more chance as a transfer for the 6 colleges I’ve already applied to, then I’m not sure which option is better. I think I will take a gap year but I could change my mind.
