advise about 5th choice - urgent

hi all
predicted grades aaa. gcse 9888777775
low ucat score 1750 and frankly speaking, i dont have high hopes.
i am thinking to put pharmacy/pharmacology/biomed. I really wanted to do medicine so i am really confused and internal deadline is 25 September.
i thought of putting biomed for imperial but i realise it is super competitive and i may end up with no offers whatsoever. kindly advise.

Why not wait and add the 5th choice later?

You don't have to apply to your 5th choice now. You can leave that slot empty and just apply for your 4 Med choices now, and then add the other choice at any time up to the January deadline.

They offer both, but you should decide as advised by other posters on this thread.
