Hi, I know this is a bit late but honestly take a part time evening course in the subject you got the lower grade in and resit the exam or if you don’t want to do that just apply to resit the exam and revise at home. This way you can reapply for next year or when you’re ready to go back to college. Also the part time course will finish in the summer usually June’ish time so you can start next September, so what a year later then the others... don't make mistake like I did, in dwindle about for a few years you will just have a higher ladder to climb in the future, I know it seems a long way off but four years since I left high school have caught me up and I am in a worse state for it now, for not just doing what needed to be done earlier. I know this may not be how it is for you, I am sorry if it seems like others and me are just telling you what you know and it may seem a bit harsh but I say this with your best interests. Actually this way you give yourself some time to think things through however best while working on getting the grade up so next time whether next college year or even the year after that you know you will be accepted into college. Or you can even redo your GCSE alongside a college course that what I am have to do. Even though your friends got in, when I left high school even little miss prim and proper ended up leaving half way through her course believe me they may think they going somewhere but sometimes following the crowd can take you on the fast track to nowhere but at the same time try not to dig yourself into too big a whole in not following the crowd. I wish you all the best and I hope you can come back here and update how things are going.
