Med 5th choice

I'm debating my medicine application 5th choice - I don't really want to study a plain degree anyway as I don't want to get into tons of debt for something that doesn't guarantee me a job or a post graduate entry place for medicine :/

I've been looking into radiography and as my ultimate goal would be an oncologist, therapeutic radiography would be quite interesting for me too. Is it okay to apply to this as my fifth choice? Will I still be considered with a med personal statement? Any advice would be appreciated!

No. 1 advice is to never do a differnet degree if you can just re-sit
no-one speaks about this enough but grad entry med is much more competitive
If you have your heart set on med...don't pick a 5th choice..hopefully all goes well and if it doesn't we're here to support you💜💜
