I know this sounds a ridiculous question but this is the situation: DD has had offers for all 5 uni's applied to. Top two (and two favourites) require ABB and are both conditional offers. DD has now stated that she doesn't want to go to any of the other 3 uni's and if she doesn't get the grades for 2 favourites she will take a year out and re-sit. I totally understand the reasons for how and why you choose a firm and an insurance but my question is this: If DD will only consider the top 2, could she choose one as her firm and one as insurance - given that one of the uni's did state on the open day visit, that for the applicants to not be put off if they didn't get the grades as it didn't necessarily rule them out. DD stands to get the ABB, but could get A(or A*)AC. So she could opt for the strict ABB as firm and the possible felxible as insurance? That way, if she does get the grades she has the choice of her 2 favourite and she has nothing to lose as she isn't going to consider the other 3 in any case. Does this sound feasible?
