You must submit your first 2 university and course preferences to the Placement staff .  Remember that these choices are final.  The response to the first preference from the University will be an Unconditional Offer, a  Conditional Offer or a Rejection.  If it is a rejection then the Placement staff will inform you and advise you that ADS will make a request for placement in your second preference.
