Uni Decisions…

Hi all, I am currently a high school student in the UK and want to work in finance when I'm older. I have been rejected from oxford which is a bit of a blow but am waiting for some more results from the following:
LSE - BSc Philosophy and Economics
UCL - BA Philosophy and Economics
and have received offers from Edinburgh and Warwick. Am also waiting on Ivy decisions from:
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and have got into notre dame early. Finances may be a bit of a struggle in ivies BUT can work the cost of attendance out. I could possibly reapply for Oxford for languages which I'm sure I would get into next year but want to know what the best scenario is here in terms of choosing a degree!! (Taking a year out applying for languages, which uni in the uk or the us??) thank you!
