York CS vs Resitting for Bristol

I think I have made my decision on this but I guess I’m looking for some external opinions.

Unfortunately I did much worse than I was anticipating in A-Levels so I missed my firm choice of UoB for CS, I did however get accepted into York for the same course with a placement year. I’m happy to have been accepted into York, but I just feel as it is a big “step down”. I was offered a guaranteed contextual offer of AAB for Bristol if I were to resit however I am not sure if that would be a good idea.

Option 1:
Resit A-Levels, lock in, earn some money, and go to Bristol the following year assuming I get AAB.

Option 2:
Go to York this September and be grateful. I think I prefer the vibe anyway, even if it is considerably further.

I’d be interested in if people think that the ultimate difference in graduate prospects / quality of teaching / prestige is ultimately worth resitting.

Ever wished revision wasn't as boring?

Over the last 2 years I have been developing a 100% free, new revision platform with a pretty simple goal... how to revise in a fun video game-like way while still actually doing effective revision.

Anyway the new feature I just released is called ranked, and is effectively geoguesser for revision. Right now there is only A-Level Maths, but if people like the idea I will add other subjects.

Pretty much you get matchmaked against other players with similar ELOs and depending on if you win or lose you gain/lose ELO accordingly. You also gain doubloons (in-game currency) and XP, which you can use on cosmetics and packs etc.

It would be honestly great if some people could hop on, check it out, and provide some feedback on what they like / don't like and/ or new features etc.

*I don't think this counts as "self promotion", but if mods think otherwise I'll take it down.
