my gap yrs been pretty easy going! i did some more work experience- to make my personal statement look better, and also got involved in some research stuff...in a fertility clinic in london- its not paid- but i think its been a major factor in my application this yr- cos i had loads to tlak about in the interview...

oh also, most unis, *i think* prefer post-gap yr students, cos they think they're maturer?...i dunno...i do know that ucl prefer them. and if on interview- they think the applicant isnt quite ready for medicine- they defer their entry for a yr...keep ur chin up tho! just work them a levels out

si- it seems a little like we're selling our unis to this poor person...i dont think its fair...
but yeh- i guess what we're trying to say- is that do not fear a gap yr- enjoy it, embrace it, and use it wisely...
