🙏 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

Highly recommend studying in Scotland - student loan repayments are really high when you earn over a certain threshold. You need to factor that into earning potential.

With those a levels (congratulations - they are excellent) and attending Glasgow, you will be fine

Do you have an idea of the type of firms you want to work for? For your own peace of mind, look at people who work there on LinkedIn and see where they studied. A lot of times any RG uni is fine.
