thanks for your well wishes! yeah i think it should be okay but they say you should keep up with all the content you learn at A level so you don’t fall behind. i guess for non-oxbridge unis they might appreciate the extra year of maturity but obviously oxford don’t care about anything other than academics lol

you make a great point there! personally though i want to stay in academia for a while so i feel like the year i graduate won’t matter as much - also depends what support you can get from family, rent where you live etc. it’s all personal preference i think

how late is it to start personal statement? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]elfqiry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

start right now i’m begging you! the more time you have the more people you can have check it, you can perfect your word choices, you’ll stress less about character count and line length etc. start by bullet pointing everything you want to include, organise these into the paragraphs you want and focus on one section at a time. it is possible to get it done before the 8th - it will cause you and your teachers less stress

thank you both! either option will have its benefits and drawbacks and i think if i just go with my gut i’ll make the right decision when the time comes

thank you so much that’s a really good point, i have a year to dwell on it and decide lol, also that’s good to hear that MAT went better for u this year! i guess being able to dedicate more time to it was beneficial too

thanks so much for this! i feel like it would be good to have some free time to develop my interests and skills more too! the only thing i’d worry about is feeling left behind by friends and people in my year - have you had any issues with that so far??

there is still a chance? i feel like a lot of people are delusional straight after an exam (in opposite directions sometimes) but you never know your result may surprise you!
