Sons UCAS forms

[StrumpersPlunkett]

Hi folks,
DS has completed his form and school have advised him to put a crisis choice on his form.
We are reasonably certain that he shouldn't do this as he is not going to accept offers.
If he doesn't get into the places he has on his form now he wants to choose a totally different course.
Is there a different reason he would put a crisis choice on his form?

He wants to study Physics with astrophysics

TBH I think in this instance that it's all relative. Universities are eager to recruit the best possible applicants and if an applicant who turned them down comes back in Clearing having comfortably achieved their earlier offer the chances are good. Obviously this doesn't work with universities/courses that are extremely oversubscribed but most others will be quite flexible in these circumstances.
