The likelihood of you getting in depends what the individual uni's requirements are and how likely it is that u'll meet them...e.g. Durham only want BBB - of course you have to sell yourself in your PS aswell.
Regarding a 5th choice, loads of unis offer an integrated placement, Aberdeen, Dundee (although I wouldn't particularly recommend either of those :p: ) you really need to scroll through UCAS and refine your search, something like

As you are doing maths & business there are also loads of different & interesting combos available, Bristol offers a well-rounded course including elements of IT but its heavily based quantitive methods...you really need to check out the individual detals of each course b4 u decide.
Hope this helps
Lancaster has partnerships with E&Y if you want to try.

I think they want AAB though, or ABB for normal degree.
