resit or go to uni?

this is the situation im in rn, I got my a level results back for economics physics and maths, i got A D D respectively but still got accepted into my computer science course at leicester uni. I feel as if ive let myself down massively as i know the potential i have. Would it be better to take a gap year to resit maths and physics to get better grades to go to a better uni or is computer science a course where the uni i go to doesnt matter as long as i have a degree?

I think if you are considering resitting you should double check that universities you might be thinking of applying to allow resits as many do not.
