Reapplying to LSE/imperial

Hi, i got my firm choice in Lancaster for accounting and finance but exceeded the grades and got A*AA in persian maths and business. i was thinking of re applying next yr for the same course but better unis such LSE Imperial Bath and Warick.considering how competitive the top unis are for the course is it worth declining Lancaster and have gap yr ?
i also moved into uk in year 11 and literally 3 months before the gcse exams so I don't have great gcse background.

Go to Lancaster.
Its a top Uni and not any 'better than LSE, however you think you can measure that.

imperial doesn't do accounting and finance.

it's a stem only uni - the closest thing is their fairly new undegrad econ, finance and data science course, but that's ultra competitive and oversubscribed (3% acceptance rate).

If you met the grades for your firm then the other offer disappears.
