A level results day (UK)

Hi guys, it's A level results day on Thursday, and this young monkey is having a bit of a crisis over possibly not getting into his Russell group university (that's equiv to ivy league) . I'm not sure where I should go if I don't get in or I'm a couple of grades short because I know that what university matters when you want to work in the HF industry. Anecdotes and stories of life working out for you would be awesome to see whatever I could do if I don't get into the uni I want. Hopefully I'm okay but I have to say I'm fearing the worst. Thanks for reading and taking the time to post
