My DD is due to finish level 3 next year, in summer 2014. She has already started to look for Universities and the normal routine would be to start looking around summer/autumn of 2013, interviews 2014 for a September 2014 start at University.
Now, she has an idea for a gap year. If she goes on it, she would want to still stick with the above regime if she is allowed to because she will be in the UK this year and able to attend interviews etc whereas, the following year, she would be away.
Is it possible to apply for Universities a year in advance like this? Know you have a place lined up for when you get back?
The gap year is a great idea for her which completely fits in with her University course choice, so she might also, possibly, be able to use it as part of her personal statement to help indicate her passion for the subject.
