Uni of Birmingham vs Uni of York

Glad to share that I've been accepted by the University of Birmingham and York recently for their MSc economics programs! I have an unconditional offer from York and for Birmingham it's a conditional offer that requires me to confirm acceptance by 29th Feb.

I'm leaning more to York over Birmingham as it's higher ranked by REPEC and economics at Birmingham is part of the Business department. But if I secure a significant scholarship - more than 7000 pounds, I would be tempted to accept Birmingham.

Still waiting on a response from the remaining unis and especially want a reply from Nottingham, Manchester, Warwick and LSE soon. Please let me know if I'm right about this. York is slightly lower than Birmingham as per QS but significantly lower in THE rankings. But for RePEc York is 61 and Birmingham is 120 and for ARWU also Birmingham is 151-200 while York is 51-75.
