Do you know that you will definitely get one of the schools you have listed? (Thinking about their admissions policies, typical cut off scores, typical cut off distances etc)

If so then it's less of an issue. What's important is that you have at least one school you should definitely get on there. If you are sure you wil get one of these, don't worry about putting a 6th choice.

The problem is if you don't get any of your choices, what school will you get instead? It will be whatever school your LA can find you a space. It probably won't be a school you want.
