Have told parents I am taking a gap year
Feels bad man. I don't know where to go from here.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet, time to get a real major now friend

I was initially going to do "Sport and Exercise Science" or "Exercise Physiology" but i realized the vast majority of these graduates go into PT or they work at gyms.
To me it was just like why would I do a 4 year degree to end up working at a gym, when I can do a personal training course/certificate for that which would take a couple months

There's really nothing else that interests me to be honest, I dont know what to do now. Could I still try get in by doing some work now and re applying for next year?

easy fix

Go to your academic advisor/counsler and have them go over all of your classes and see what majors you're close to satisfying based on the classes you've already taken.

for example, at my university, the difference between a degree in biochemistry and biology is 4 classes. If I were to fail at biochem, a BS in biology is still within reach for me.

Not sure how your country's education system works so can't comment but here in the states a year off will not kill you so I would start by stop stressing about this.

Hop on the computer and do some research on your scenario and go from there.

Report back in a few days when you've found something.

Trust me this is nothing

But what if I only want to do my preferred major, is there still hope?

[Tornach]

1. Get into sales during your gap year.
2. Or you could go with a science degree and look into physiotherapy after you finish that.
3. Repeat the exams if you can

I'd go with number 1

Could you elaborate on what you mean by " go into sales".

[Eterniity]

Nothing wrong with a gap year boyo, kinda wish I took one instead of rushing into a subject I wasn't happy with. Get some good experience for yourself, earn some money and have some fun.
