Honestly I’d say take econ at Exeter. Gap year not worth it unless you’ve got it alr planned out. I took a gap year and went to lots of places so had fun, my friend took a gap year last minute and lost his sanity being bored at home for months at a time.

Main thing is to start applying for spring weeks now. Some have alr come out and you should keep an eye out for what else comes out. Apply as soon as they come out - check Bristol tracker.

Also chill out on the all caps

Good luck 👍

 

I would agree with the above commenter that the incremental benefit of going to Bristol is not worth taking out. However it would be worth taking a year out if you think you could get into Oxbridge, Imperial, LSE or Warwick. 

With Leeds and Exeter - you still have a decent shot at breaking into IB, you just need to make sure that your grades are near to / top of class and you have very strong finance-related extracurriculars (e.g. try and become President of Finance Society etc.)
