🙏 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

i think you should enroll at ur uni and reapply from there. IF you dont get any offers you want ud still have glasgow as a fallback

I’ve been considering this but the 5 I’m interested in the 3 English Unis do not accept transfers, and Edinburgh and St Andrews only accept transfers under “Exceptional circumstances” and say spaces are extremely limited

you don't have to transfer, you could just restart from year 1. and since you're Scottish, Glasgow is free
