I'm living in Ireland and I really want to do occupational therapy but there are only 3 colleges here that have it. Hopefully I won't have to leave home but I'm applying to some UK colleges as a back up. Should I mention that it's my backup in my personal statement to show that I really want to do the course or would they be less likely to offer me a place knowing that I'm likely to turn it down?
Also, I noticed that a lot of colleges expect you to have done a fair bit of work experience. I've only done one week in OT and a week in a centre for adults with physical disabilities. Would that be enough?
