UCAS Extra is meant as a chance for you to apply to another course if you've used all 5 choices and have not received any offers, or if you've declied all the offers you received. But remember that once you decline ALL of your offers, you cannot reverse this decision.
2.
The main risk is if you do not receive any offers from the course you applied through UCAS Extra, you might not have a secured place at university. However, even if you don't receive an offer after UCAS Extra, there's still Clearing you can apply through.

If you’re certain that the course you now want to pursue is the right fit for you, UCAS Extra gives you the opportunity to apply for it, which could lead to a more fulfilling university experience and career path.
4.
Think carefully about how much more suited the new course is for your career goals and interests. Also, remember to consider the reputation of the university and the quality of life you would have there.
5.
Seek advice from your careers advisor for a professional opinion. They can provide insights into the course and university you’re considering and help you weigh the pros and cons.
