Should I pick the one that will be easy to get into, or the one that's a challenge?

I'm only really interested in one university. The other 3 I'm planning on applying to are just back ups.

For my 5th choice, I've narrowed it down to two choices:
1. A "top 5" university that I'd have to work hard to get into, like my other choices.
2. A "top 20" university that would be relatively easy for me to get into.

The other three back ups are all good unis that I've pretty much been set on for ages.

Which do you think would be best, 1 or 2?

Work hard and go for the one that will be a challenge. It will be a big achievement and you'll feel great when you do get in, plus it'll probably benefit you slightly more for the rest of your life.

A few years of work for great benefits!

Go for it!
