HELP. Transfer student personal statement, failed 1st year student.

Hey everyone

I could really use some advice.

Background: I wrote my personal statement back when I was first applying to uni. I’ve been at the University studying Biomedical Science, but I failed my first year. Out of my modules, 2 were failed and 1 has an accepted Extenuating Circumstances claim.

My questions:

• If I reapply to another uni , will they let me enter directly into Year 2 with those results, or will I have to restart from Year 1?
• Do I need to rewrite my personal statement to explain failing modules, or do unis just look at transcripts and decide?
• Has anyone here transferred after failing in first year what was the process like?
• I’ve seen some unis offer January 2026 intake is it possible to transfer into that, or would I have to wait until September?

I’m honestly stressed and don’t want to lose a whole year if I can avoid it. Any advice or experiences would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance 🙏
