5th Uni Choice

Hi guys!
I am applying for history for 2015 entry...I have decided on four universities to apply to: Cambridge, Durham, Glasgow and York...but I can't decide a fifth one! My grades are good (all A1s in my Highers) and so I want a uni that's top 20 (at least for History anyway), in a historic setting and, preferably, in England. I would also prefer a town with a fairly large population (although Durham obviously is quite small, so this is not a priority).

Any ideas? Thank you

You don't have to put all your choices in when you first apply - you can add additional choices (up to 5) up until the 15th January without any problems.

What about St Andrews? It's not in England but it meets all your other requirement.

You've got enough time to decide, have you been on any open days?

The only open days I have been to/are going to are ones that I am sure I am applying to I.e Cambridge and Durham...living in Scotland it*is quite difficult to just pop down to England and visit a uni without taking into account petrol costs, accommodation etc. So I have to be really interested in a uni to visit it. But fair enough in regards to me having plenty of time, I was just seeing if anyone had suggestions from their own experience

exeter or bristol maybe? they're both russell group universities in lovely areas that are regarded highly for their history courses

If you want somewhere historic what about Bath?

Hi, when you say 'first apply' do you mean filling the form out or actually submitting it? I thought that once you press the submit button that was it, and you couldn't change anything (apart from choosing firm/insurance some months later).

Just checking, as that would be useful if I could apply to certain courses (such as an AAA course) see if I get an offer and if not adjust my chances to lower courses and send out subsequent applications. If that makes sense.

Newcastle?

Why haven't you applied to Edinburgh?

Warwick, Exeter, UCL, King's, Bristol, Birmingham etc.
