Common App and UCAS?

<p>I just noticed that KCL and Birmingham (two I'm interested in) are on the Common App. If I applied to those two via Common App, would I be able to apply to 5 different universities on the UCAS, so I would apply to a total of 7 UK universities: 5 on UCAS and 2 on Common App? Is this allowed?</p>

<p>Also, if that is allowed, would I be able to submit a different PS for the Common App ones?</p>

<p>It’s gaming the system a bit, but you can do it. Your Common App unis will see your common app PS, and your UCAS unis will see your ucas PS.</p>

<p>You can do it. I applied to 5 schools via UCAS, and 1 via Common App this year.</p>

Note that this year, they began checking to prevent “doubling”.
