[QUOTE="FM302989, post: 251091, member: 8215"] Personal opinion, and perhaps bias also as an Exeter grad, but no this does not seem plausible at all. There is no added benefit to your academic or professional journey from dropping out out of a Russel Group university and effectively setting yourself back two years. Equally, firms will not be scrutinising GCSE results, although some firms may have a minimum A-Level expectation which you've clearly smashed. Please do not re-sit GCSEs None of what you're suggesting is sensible or adds any benefit to securing a TC in the future. I apologise if this comes across harsh but you've come so far in your first year that I don't understand why you'd choose to give up and have a gap year now? Work and study hard to keep your grades high, understand the profession and practice areas you may want to work in, get involved in societies and sports teams if that's what is making the atmosphere less pleasant and continue building up your profile before applications open up for you [/QUOTE]
