St Andrews vs Durham for UG in Econ and Politics??

Hi everyone, G12 Canadian student from HK interested in BB IB here. Wondering whether I should select St Andrews or Durham as my 5th UCAS choice? Other 4 are Warwick, Kings, UCL, and Edinburgh for Economics and Politics, with UCL and Warwick as a reach, and Kings and Edi as a safety/match. As of now, St Andrews is a safety / match, yet Durham is a match / reach due to the math requirement. I'm hoping to obtain a masters in Finance in the US (Ivy) / UK (Oxbridge/LSE), then segway into IB in London / Hong Kong, before ultimately settling in either aforementioned city / NY / Toronto.  Some thoughts or advice would be greatly appreacted!!
