Lucy Cavendish AAP on My Cambridge Application

I have participated in the Lucy Cavendish Academic Attainment Programme and would like to talk about what I learnt through this on my optional personal statement on the My Cambridge Application. Would this put me at a disadvantage because I am not actually applying to Lucy Cavendish, but Downing instead?

Not at all, it would be an absolutely excellent thing to talk about (assuming it's relevant - I'm not personally familiar with the programme).

That sounds amazing, I'm thinking English at Cambridge!
Hi. I got on the programme too doing English lit, History and Politics.

Is anyone else in group C for History or English - I’m in C for both?
