Advice for applying to optometry

Hey I’m thinking of applying to city (both the standard and the introductory year course as my insurance) Manchester and Anglia Ruskin. I’m struggling between choosing Cardiff University or Hertfordshire for my fifth option. What do you guys recommend? I can’t find much info on optometryat those unis specifically but I’ll have another. Also does anyone recommend I change any of the options I’m currently set on? And for anyone who has completed interviews for optometry how did they go?

Phone City and ask if you need to use two choices or will they automatically consider you for the foundation year if you don't get an offer for the standard course. You don't have to decide all your choices now. You can submit your application with one, two, three or four choices now and then add the others before the 31 January deadline. This will give you more time to research your remaining options.

Oh I didn’t know you could do that! Thank you so much
