that is quite interesting indeed why do u think that is the case?I have a couple friends from work/siblings of friends who did gap years that have turned into gap decades
because while you’re in that study mode, it is easier to keep going. But once you stop, it’s hard to get going like that againIf anyone has taken one please share ur POSITIVE experiences
nah but fr i just wanna hear both sides so yes
that is quite interesting indeed why do u think that is the case?
people get lazy because they spend a year of doing nothing or at least nothing that uses their brain, people get lonely/depressed because all your hs friends move on to uni and who r u really supposed to be friends with and some people just go sorta insane bc of those things and get into weird stuffthat is quite interesting indeed why do u think that is the case?
ohhh now the ucat prep makes senseIf anyone has taken one please share ur experiences

its more to just take a gap year and figure out what i like, work, gym, build good habits before i enter uniohhh now the ucat prep makes sense
if u wanted to do med tho, wouldn't it save u some time to do 3 yrs of undergrad, do good, and do postgrad med? at least that way, if u don't make it into med u don't waste a year and have a tangible qualification
I’m so sorry to tell u this but I’m not sure ur gonna outperform other med candidates who put blood sweat and tears into their prep, with this mentalitymed would be like a side quest ig i would still try hard for it but its not the ONLy reason for the gap yr
imo everyone says they're gonna do that, but by the end of the gap year all they've accomplished is a maxxed gta character.its more to just take a gap year and figure out what i like, work, gym, build good habits before i enter uni
med would be like a side quest ig i would still try hard for it but its not the ONLy reason for the gap yr
i researched to the depths of reddit they say u only need like 2 months of ucat prep anything more is just a cause for burnout so idkI’m so sorry to tell u this but I’m not sure ur gonna outperform other med candidates who put blood sweat and tears into their prep, with this mentality
srsly tho I rlly recommend u do a Bach degree then try for non standard entry or postgrad, gap yr is a rlly big trap to fall into
love a success story thoughI took a gap year.
benefical for other reasons too.
I worked throughout the year, gained enough of a savings to fund myself to move away for uni
I also changed what I wanted to do at uni during my gap year, which I think is the most beneficial part of my gap year.
I originally deferred a pharmacy offer, and worked as a pharmacy assistant in a pharmacy, and that convinced me to move to nursing instead.
elaborate?I'm genuinely so anti gap year
I mean everyone's replies kinda summed it upelaborate?
Someone I know took a few year 12 subjects again in their “gap year/second year 12 year”I mean everyone's replies kinda summed it up
I just don't see how taking a gap year will make ur chances of med any better tbh, it comes down to your ucat and interview both of which can be prepped for while studying. unless you do the postgrad way which I don't think you will
if you genuinely are lost about what you wanna study and feel like uni isn't right for you at the moment then yeah maybe?? the thing is you can build habits, get a job go to the gym and do all that while studying, it might be hard to juggle everything at first but you fall into a rhythm eventually, a gap year just sets you back for no reason (not for everyone)
niceSomeone I know took a few year 12 subjects again in their “gap year/second year 12 year”
So they could get a high enough atar to get into med
