Welcome to gap year clearing 2010
Hi there!
So, what's this all about?
This section of gapyear.com exists...
To give advice for those who need it (I missed my grades and went through Clearing, as did our Editor Sam - so we have a few useful tips)
To help you find the gap year placements that are still available to you this year (our database is live, which saves you the hassle of contacting companies who don't have places left)
To give you answers to questions and inspiration for what is about to be the best year of your life!
Below you'll find loads more advice and inspiring stories from people who were in your position this time last year.
Good luck, enjoy yourself and have a wicked gap year!
