Exeter Vs Reapplying for Targets

I have been offered to study PPE at Exeter but I'm not sure as to whether I should wait a year and apply to Oxford, Warwick and LSE. I  didn't apply to LSE this year and was rejected from Oxford and Warwick for having average GCSE's but I hope to get A*s in my A-levels to solve this issue. I am not sure if I really stand a chance at entering IB if I got to Exeter.  I could also try to transfer to LSE in year 2 but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

transferring to lse is impossible + cost in-effective. i would just wait till you get ur results then decide. you can always renege on ur offer from exeter, if u lose a accom deposit than compared to the long run its a small price to pay. if you get just what you need to exeter (idk AAB AAA) then just go. if you can get a few A*’s, 100% reapply
