What's your 5th choice?

[aka_akon]

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd start a thread about the '5th choice' on UCAs.
I guess I've been concentrating so much on my 4 choices for med that in a way, i neglected the 5th choice.
So for anyone who's sent off their UCAS already or have their 5th choice sorted, what course are you going for and maybe why?!
I'm torn between two atm and can't seem to decide!

oh, and good luck to you all!!

Psychology and Sociology at the University of Essex or something like that.

Didn't even bother. I'm taking a gap year if I don't get in, so I'd have to be released from my 5th choice anyway.

If I had to take it though, probably Biology Sciences at Warwick or Cybernetics at reading.

i'm like hughman, taking a gap year, so if i have to reapply i'l put in a fifth choice next year, not really up for it coz its much harder to get in as a graduate

Human Physiology at Leeds, but only if I get four rejections and/or don't get my grades (which is looking fairly likely!).
If I get my grades and get four rejections, I'll reapply, grades in hand.

Biomedical sciences at Newcastle only because there is a chance of transferring to med in the second year. I really hope i dont have to use this choice though *being very optimistic*

ye not putting a 5th choice down this year as id turn it down if i got an offer anyway to reapply next year.
will be puttin down neuroscience and psychology at manchester as my 5th choice next year though if i dont get in this time round as i dont want to have 2 gap years!
seems to make sense to me..

My 5th choice is biomedical sciences at manchester...however, I really doubt I would take it if I dont get in....am just applying for the sake of it really x

Well i personally don't need a 5th choice - I think i'm going to be alright! go me !

because i have already done a degree, and now want to do medicine, i have no 5th choice...not through ucas anyway.
my 5th choice is to get a job! be a scientist. do some humanitarian work, travel. earn money and then...apply to medicine again the following year.
