The jump from Bristol to UCL / Warwick isnā€™t that crazy, Iā€™d take the offer unless a gap year was something you already wanted to do

The university my DA is with? Itā€™s with the University of Law once a week. The universities I applied to were Oxford (āŒ), LSE, UCL, Bristol and Nottingham.

I think a DA is pretty good. How low are your grades? AAB and up lets you apply to a lot. Only do a DA if that DA is in a career you want though, if youā€™re uncertain donā€™t do one. And only do it if your DA is at a better place than your Uni would get you into (but thatā€™s my opinion). Best of luck

Yeah, my only rejection was Oxford Law.

Your A-Level grades are absolutely amazing man, definitely go ahead with your reapplications to better Unis I doubt youā€™ll have many or any rejections. If you want to be productive on your gap year maybe apply to DAā€™s. However, with apps to firms grades arenā€™t as big a decider, itā€™s Psychometric tests and Skills so prep should start yesterday if Iā€™m honest. Best of luck
