Resitting A Levels twice

Hi guys,
In 2023 u achieved BEE (Econ, Maths and chem). I then resat and only managed to get BCC. I have been given an offer to study a mid course at a top 10 uk Russel group uni, but I am not happy with tagt and wish to chose a more finance related degree with higher a level grade requirements.
My question is; if I was to resit all 3 of my A levels and reapply once more, would the better universities still accept me or will they be seriously doubtful.
Ps. I only had one offer and it was for Bristol E&M

Question - do you think you will actually get better grades than this next time.
What would be different between this and the other time you resat.
Be honest.

100%, I didn’t rlly study last year because I was playing a sport at quite a high level.
I’m now willing to just give it 100%
At this rate you will be 21 and can enter uni as mature student, entry requirements are different for mature students. Some Russell Groups uni may not accept resits. What course did Bristol offer you?

E&M which is econ and managemt a very good course, my biggest fear is not getting any offers. And no I’ll be going to uni as a 20 yo so not yet mature
You can accept and then if do well can switch course later.
Bro I had an offer from Bristol BCC wasn’t enough Bristol is solid it wanted AAA
I'd resit but thats just me, when did you start studying for your resits?

First time around I did business and econ alevel, didn’t fail but not the best results. This year I did chem and bio but I didn’t do well because I tried to teach myself in only a few months. My question is, if I was to resit again and do econ, chem and bio would it count as two resits. I think it’s only one because I’ve only attempted the exams once, but just wanted to ask to make sure.
