Widening Participation to Medicine programmes
Hello, i am looking to apply to few widening participation programmes for medicine from different universities, would participating in more than one put me in any disadvantage in eyes of universities as i will be entering the widening participation programmes i have joined to UCAS later.
For example, lets say i have applied to steps2medicine programme of Keele, and Peninsula pathways programme of Plymouth. And both widening participation programmes have accepted me. Would doing both put me in a disadvantage later when applying through UCAS??
