Hi, Here's some context. My firm choice was a master's Warwick Mathematics requiring A*A*A* with A* further maths. My insurance choice was a bachelor's Bath Computer Science and Mathematics (though it's more like computing WITH mathematics) requiring A*AA with A in further maths.
I achieved A* computer science, A* mathematics, B in physics, and A in further maths but was one mark away from the 90% for an A* . This means I got into Bath.
Over the past year, I've been more and more against going to Bath just from what I've read online. Eg computer science is hard to get a job for, it's very far from my hometown of Loughborough, Bath isn't a russell group uni, I didn't enjoy computing and I've still not got any accommodation. I was also initially interested in further education but understand it's not too useful for computing.
I'm torn between throwing away a year of my life and applying to Warwick again, but also maybe with a chance of Imperial, or just going to Bath. I probably won't do stuff like internships and whatnot as I'd just get a normal job in my gap year to earn some money. I also wouldn't apply for anything with computing in its name.
Could anyone give some advice in case I do something stupid? I understand I've got until the 20th at the latest to make the decision of pulling out of Bath. At this point, the main thing is if I take a gap year, will that help my career prospects by a lot?
