u/Even-Clothes-8973

just got my A-level results, and I did better than expected — 3 As, even though I was only predicted 2 As and an A (my school called these "hopeful" predictions). Because of that prediction, I didn't apply to elite universities like Oxford or LSE.

I took the LNAT and scored 28. I've been accepted into Bristol but rejected from UCL.

Now I'm wondering:

1. Should I take a gap year and reapply to more competitive universities, or just go to Bristol?
2. If I do reapply, can I use my existing LNAT score, or would I need to retake it?
