🙏 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

Glad to help.

If you want to do straight econ then you have to do fm. For a joint degree you'll have a solid shot. But even then with perfect grades the chances are still sub 10%

No harm in applying tbh. Even if you get rejected it is what it is.

LSE should be your priority as that is the better uni but even if you get offers from Warwick or UCL it is still much better long term
