What is your 'fifth' uni choice? (the one you don't really want to go to that much)

Just wondering what everyone's put for their 'fifth' uni/ the uni with the lowest entry requirements on their UCAS?

My 5th choice is Sheffield, although I don't think it had the lowest entry requirements.

I was going to pick Sheffield, but I saw that entry requirements for Liverpool were even lower so that's now my lowest :smile: What are you studying?
Newcastle, u was going to take a gap year if that was my only offer, but Southampton offered me and that's my first choice :biggrin:

City university London for Law quite decent backup not as good as most people's backups tbh.

History! I've got an unconditional from Manchester now, which is my 3rd choice, so I'm quite happy. Haven't heard anything from Sheffield however. What are you applying for? :smile:

That's awesome, well done! My friend went and visited Southampton last week and fell in love with it.
Southampton for Pharmacology I suppose but gradewise all my unis are very similar
Probably Bath for Environmental Geoscience.
Reading for law, although I'd love to got there even though its my backup

Wow, im considering Reading or Lancaster currently but Reading would potentially be my third choice. If you dont mind me asking, what other choices do you plan to apply for.
University of Birmingham for ChemEng
Leeds. Know very little about it. Put it down as it was next in line in terms of league table performance.
Sheffield for me too (applied for History there )

I've already applied, I went for
1. Cambridge (Fitzwilliam)
2. Nottingham
3. York (interview)
4. Southampton (conditional offer)
5. Reading (conditional offer)

I don't know much about Lancaster's Law course so I can't comment on it but Reading had a great one. where are you applying to

2- Lancaster (probably wont go for Reading)
3- Sussex
4- Liverpool
5- City
Your choices are amazing absolutely insane, well done you must have smashed it in AS.
It's either durham or exeter for natural sciences. It depend on which one gives me the better offer!!

to be honest I didn't do great in AS, but the federation think I can get A*A*AA and so they got me to apply, just because I have a shot at getting in

That's great! I'm appying for Maths, so the entry requirements don't really get very low, took me ages to find Liverpool (which is apparently kinda bad!)
