Hey /adv/, I'm currently at a shitty/mediocre school for maths (cardiff uni) and I'm wondering if I should retake my A levels (A*BC with B in further maths, not awful but below average), wasting a year, or just finish my degree and hope to do an msc somewhere better if I like it? Do employers for jobs requiring a degree in STEM mind if it's from a meh tier uni? Will I be working at McBurgerWay for the rest of my life?
Your grades will reflect your aptitude more than the University you attend. Networking hard makes up for any connections you might gain/lose as a result of your University choice.
Finish your degree and go to grad school elsewhere.

>Graduatee programs only accept "first attempt" A levels anyway
>You will waste 2+ years for no gain
>Just get a 2:1 and you're on par with any faggot from a Russel Group uni

It's outside the top 200 in math and pretty much any other science

Choose your professors and classes >>17639757
wisely and you can get a good education even at a poor school. Choose unwisely, even at a world-class school, and you can get a lousy education. It's all up to you.

What guide you using? Its not that meh on "The complete university guide table"
Are universities really rated and ranked? I imagine that literally any faggot with a doctorate could teach most college courses in his field. How much better could the top best uni be compared to rank 254?
