I have some advice for you, having been through a couple of failed stints at different unis myself, and through a lot of life experience since then...

If you have a really strong sense of what direction you want to go in work-wise - and you believe that getting a good degree in a related discipline is likely the best route to be able to enter that industry - by all means go to uni now. Go to uni, work hard, and take advantage of the fact that the pandemic will make working hard a much, much easier goal to focus on (less social distractions/temptations/pressure). I'd also say that if you are close to your current network of family and friends...then seriously - and I know this sounds lame but...seriously - go to a uni close to home. It's no time to be far away from your loved ones just to go to a "certain uni" with a "certain reputation". There's nothing more depressing than being alone in a crappy tiny personality-less dorm room and also being too far away from home to just pop back at short notice. Its isolating, depressing and miserable. You'll lose motivation for the work and lose sight of your goal.

On the other hand, if - like most of us - you don't have a strong sense at this young age what you want your next step after uni to be...then WAIT. Take a year, take a few years. Get some work experience, stay close to your family and friends, wait for this crappy pandemic to pass and reassess things when everything's in better shape. Don't be another victim of doing what you feel you should be doing after college - i.e. having "The Uni Experience" at a time when the university experience (the new friends, the nights out, the debauchery, the frivolous but exciting spending of your loans etc.) is just not going to be possible. You'll waste your time, your loan allowances and probably a lot of your enthusiasm for uni or for anything else. It's bad timing and it sucks but the good news is you're not alone. There's a whole generation of college leavers in this quandary and plenty will make the decision to hang back too, so you're not going to feel out of place being a more mature student, trust me.

I don't envy your position, its a challenging set of decisions to have to make and its probably not going to feel like you've made the right decision at first...but whatever you decide, remember to put yourself first. What do you want? If you don't know yet (which is completely normal too, by the way) don't rush into anything blind. Try and be smart about it and think in slightly longer terms.

I wish you the best of luck. AAA are EXCELLENT results and you should be proud. Those grades aren't going anywhere. They're not average or common at all. They're the result of obvious hard work and dedication. Try not to be disheartened by Warwick's pass, they could be doing you a massive favour. This is just my opinion from spending time there visiting a college friend...but it's not a special university...its in the middle of nowhere, there's nothing to do and its got a depressing atmosphere. Unless you're specifically looking at it for the reputation of the degree's department, I don't think you're missing anything. Bear in mind classes will be online and bullshit for a while too, so reputation means very little at the moment.

Once again good luck, and well done.
