    Personally, I haven’t had that bad of an experience with BPP. I will say they they are unorganised and the admin is not great, but I do think the teaching makes up for it.

    When I was rejected post-AC last year they said you usually have to wait to reapply, so this may still be the case for this year. I think if it was post-app you can still reapply in the same cycle.
