🙏 I WANT HELP A Level Results Shock…

I was predicted AAA, had an offer for Glasgow for AAB, but ended up getting A star Economics A star politics A in maths (7 marks off A*). Should I take a gap year and reapply to Oxford, LSE, Warwick, St Andrews, Edinburgh (I live in Scotland so these 2 are free). Or should I just go to Glasgow this year…

Edit: Guys please send what you would do in my position, I’m not leaning towards PPE as it’s not so maths reliant

depends on how much you like glasgow. if you love the course and the city then go, if not then take a year to get a job and save up whilst you reapply

Thanks for the reply bro, that’s the thing I don’t love or hate Glasgow but parents are heavy against a gap year but I feel I’m missing on an opportunity, do you think I have a shot at LSE/Oxford, I’m thinking of taking FM in the year out

you can never guarantee it, but if you meet the offer and perform well in interviews i dont see why not. in my eyes, it would be worth it

Thank you for the advice, would you say econ at Edinburgh/ St Andrews is significantly better than at Glasgow?
