Unfortunately rejected from PPE this year post-interview; awaiting feedback, but am pretty sure my TSA score is where I fell short, really unfortunate since my centre had an array of technical issues on the day. I am pretty set on reapplying granted I am awarded strong enough grades after my A-Level Exams.
However, I am most likely to reapply whilst enrolled at university to mitigate the risk of a year out of education (just don't think it will do me well, personally). Does anyone have any experience doing this? Found some pretty old threads, but wondered if more recently anyone has had any issues with Oxford/particular colleges etc. or just would be able to provide some broader insight.

Which A-Level subjects have you chosen? There are TSA tests on the website from 2008 to 2020, so practice them! 
A Post A-Level application is usually stronger, as you already have met the offer and only the interviews matter as well as the TSA!!!
What about Cambridge University? Economics
Or even Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT or Amherst as they give full funding to International applicants as well as Americans!!!

I've emailed a few colleges, and it is possible as long as there are "strong reasons for moving university after the first year" - aside from that, there are threads on here/others online who have written about going through the aforementioned process.

Cambridge are even less keen on applications if you are already at university.

Pretty sure Oxford does accept applications while you’re studying elsewhere whereas Cambridge does not.

It's mentioned on Cambridge website that "The Cambridge Colleges will not normally consider applications to Cambridge from students enrolled on degree courses at other UK universities". So in this case, it will tend to accept those studying at Uni outside the UK. Is that right?

Please do not do any withdrawing until after A level results. Plan ahead by all means but have 2 plans as results are never a given. Unless you want a gap year anyway. But still wait until August to do anything about offers.
