Uni Dilema

Hey. I got Three A's at A level and an A at AS. They are good A's between 88.5% and 97%.

Now as a child I always wanted to go to Oxford but due to a History exam mishap last year I didnt even get an interview. So the many merits of going to Bristol won me over, however in the past few months I decided I needed a year out for money and experience and I decided I would ask to defer. I've now been accepted into Bristol however they wont let me defer.

Now I'm stuck between the choice of going to Uni this year without the financial backing and experience I really wanted. Or I could turn down going to Bristol and then reapply to Oxford and Bristol. This way there is a risk of getting turned down by both especially as I'd have to retake the LNAT. And even if I did get into both then I would have to weigh up the merits of each for my personal situation.

Does anyone have any advice or input that could help with my decision making?
