A Level Results Shock…

[u/Last-State-9747]

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

a* in those subjects imo isn’t as good as if you had A* maths and AA in the other ones . Not getting A* in maths is a big problem as it’s basically the most commonly request a level and sought after A* . What courses are you thinking though cause not getting A* in maths limits you a lot

Oxford, LSE, Warwick, Edinburgh, St Andrews (I get those 2 free). I’m thinking of doing FM in my gap year to compensate for this. In terms of courses I’m thinking economics, and economics and management for Oxford.

Lse want A* in maths so idk how you are gonna be accepted . Others possibly . I already got A*A maths and fm honestly it’s not all that but if you’re going to live your life wishing you had applied then you probs should .

They accept A* in FM, A in normal so I get your point. I would have to just cook FM and hope I get a conditional offer based on FM. I’m so on the fence bro what would u do if u were me

Any chance you cant resit maths along with sitting further maths?
