A level reuslts - Where to go ?

Just received a level results and better than expected A*A*AA have an offer from Cardiff for AAB but could go to Cass (Bayes) with the same grades is there any comparison between the two universities for someone trying to get into IB and is the social life a key factor in deciding which one. A level grades posted just posted for the comparison to the course entry requirements i'm not trying to be a prick.

With those grades I wouldn’t go to either; you can try clearing or worst case take a gap year and reapply to schools like ucl, lse, warwick, etc depending on your course choice. Don’t feel the need to rush into it, a gap year can give you the chance to learn and experience many different things and you’ll start uni (hopefully) as a more rounded person. You worked hard to get those grades, and deserve to go to a better school. Do what’s best for you. Well done 👍🏼
