Parents will have concerns about reiterating, such as how valuable is rereading? Can I apply to a good university? Is G5 acceptable? Is it worth the time?
I would like to say that it is a very important decision to reiterate this matter about GAP! If the student does not currently have a suitable offer, and the A-Level results are indeed not satisfactory, it is indeed worth considering reiterating because, reiterating, it means that there is an opportunity to choose a better school!
When is it appropriate to take a gap year and join the A-Level retake scheme?
✅ Didn't receive a single offer
Whether it is a high report, or a deviation, or just a little "luck" that leads to not getting an offer, the chance of making up for G5 in the extra and clearing stages is very small, and students with G5 dreams are recommended to consider applying after repeating;
✅ The bottom is guaranteed, but the dream school is not
The guarantee is recorded, but the dream school is not recorded, although it is not as bleak as 0 offer, but it is also unwilling, you can consider reiterating;
✅No suitable school was found at the Clearing stage
After the release of the results in August, students who have not had Con, as well as students who did not have an offer, have not found any suitable schools through the Clearing stage, it is recommended to retake a year and then reapply.
Where can it be reread?
✅ If you choose to repeat your studies, you don't have to worry too much about registering for exams, but some students are unable to continue their studies at the school due to school policies, time and personal circumstances, which is mainly the policy of the international school!
✅ You can also participate in the Wenlan A-Level one-year program. For more information, please consult Sister Bao's WeChat: Ausliuxue
For example, student F:
补录转重读，早早拿到IC offer！
Student F's application experience is very valuable and significant.
Student F, who was looking for a supplementary school after the release of the results last summer, was not very satisfied with the schools available.
Through the planning of Wenlan's senior teacher, student F chose to repeat the year to G5.
Impressed the admissions officer with the super high score of A* in Mathematics and A* in Estimated Physics* Chemistry A* Chinese A*, and after receiving an IC invitation to complete the interview, he finally got the IC 23fall Natural Sciences (Earth and Planetary Sciences) major offer!
Student F reiterated that he has an advantage in the practical examination of Mathematics A*, and the last three subjects can be studied effectively in one year and get what he wants!
W Dong:
Reiterate the Oxford offer, it's worth it!
This is a 24Fall Oxford Offer, from our W classmates. The British freshman was studying, but he was not satisfied with the status quo, and decided to reapply to Oxford for undergraduate, and submitted the Oxford 24Fall application in the fall of 23, received an interview invitation on November 27, and officially received an Oxford offer in January this year.
Student W's application score is A* in Mathematics and Advanced Mathematics, A* in Physics, and PAT is also good.
Next, the experience of student W, although it is also reiterated, is a little different~
W Dong:
国内大一转A-level，重申摘得IC offer！
Student W is a first-year student in China who has transferred to A-Level and successfully obtained an offer from Imperial College London's popular major.
Not satisfied with the domestic university he had previously attended, student W consulted about the transition to A-Level at the beginning of his freshman year, and after confirming that it was feasible, he set his goal at a higher G5 and joined the two-year A-level program of Wenlan.
After the systematic guidance and further education planning of Teacher Wen Lan, student W decided to study mathematics, advanced, physics, and Chinese, and the application score was 3A* 1A* in the actual test, and he also participated in MAT.
In the end, I successfully got offers from popular majors such as Mathematics, Statistics and Finance at 23fall Imperial College, and Mathematics and Finance at the University of Manchester.
So, what exactly is the attitude of the UK G5 towards the reaffirmation?
In fact, Oxbridge accepts students to reiterate that they should understand why they failed the application the first time, and then prepare for the situation.
Oxford
Oxford prefers students who get high grades in one sitting, trying to avoid retaking them, but that doesn't mean there is no chance at all.
University of Cambridge
The University of Cambridge understands that even the best students can sometimes fail in their exams.
Therefore, if the results are clearly not up to the student's level, Cambridge is not concerned about the applicant retaking or planning to retake one or two AS|A2 units.
UCL
ACCORDING TO THE UCL'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE, MOST MAJORS USUALLY ACCEPT RE-EXAMINATION RESULTS, AND BASED ON EXPERIENCE OVER THE YEARS, UCL IS ALSO FRIENDLY, AND MANY OF THE OFFERS RECEIVED BY UCL ARE STUDENTS WHO HAVE REAFFIRMED THEIR GAP YEAR.
However, some popular majors at UCL do not accept resit applications! Any courses that do not accept retake applications are listed on the course page. Be careful to avoid when choosing a major!
LSE
LSE is not very receptive to repeat students' applications, and more importantly, the student's first test score.
IC
Imperial College London is more friendly to repeat students and is willing to accept repeat students, such as the two examples mentioned above, both of which are offers from Imperial College.
Note that retaking a module instead of the entire A2 still counts as a retake!
To sum up, although the G5 universities are not so categorically listed as not accepting retakes, those popular colleges with fierce competition, such as medical schools, law schools, mathematics schools, statistics schools, and economics, do not like to accept retake students, or at least their competitiveness will be weakened.
Therefore, if you want to successfully enter the G5 and popular majors, you need to have sufficient preparation, reasonable and scientific planning, as well as serious and responsible subject teachers and consultants who are very familiar with the English admission path!
Wenlan has witnessed the process of countless students from enrollment to graduation, and successfully enrolled in G5 such as Oxbridge. The Wenlan study abroad team is committed to customizing course planning for students and tapping students' potential in the most appropriate way!
