Choosing my insurance over my firm

I have an offer from Newcastle university which is AAB but is ABB if I firm them. I want to go to King’s college London which is AAA regardless if it’s my firm or insurance. Is it possible to firm Newcastle and put kings as my insurance but on results day (if I get AAA) go to kings?

Nope, at least not guaranteed anyway.

You could go through UCAS Adjustment but again, there's no guarantee your course will be open for Adjustment come results day.

If you want to go to King's, firm them. Don't firm Newcastle just because of their lowered offer if firm. It's just a marketing technique.
