Pharmacy fifth option

I'd like to apply to pharmacy at UCL as they'd give me a contextual offer of BBB. However it would be my fifth option as I am applying to Veterinary Medicine. My predicted grades are A*AA in maths bio and chem. My personal statement is very tailored to vet med. Is there still a chance I can get in or should I apply somewhere else? My fifth option must have an offer of BBB as vet schools said they'd allow ABB from me.

Let me know your thoughts!

Email the Uni and ask if they accept Med/Dent/Vet applicants for MPharm - some Unis won't because they know that if you get a Vet offer it will be essentially a 'wasted' offer.

Other Unis do not have that attitude so its worth looking beyond UCL - Bath as one example would just ask you to send a Pharm PS directly to them and there is no disadvantage for M/D/V applicants.
