Could I apply to universities on my own (on top of UCAS choices)

So I'm going to be applying to 5 universities through ucas, but I was wondering if I could apply to more on my own (because there's so many places I want to go to and it's really hard to make my mind up). Does it cost money to apply on my own? or is it generally not allowed since I'm already applying through ucas?

No, 5 choices through Ucas is your lot.

Why though? Surely I could just contact the universities myself without ucas.

And thanks for the reply

All applications go through ucas, unless you want to apply to Buckingham which is private so handles its own
