You need to check their entry requirements first to see if you can apply - they are more strict with pre-degree qualifications than most, particularly Cambridge, but it's not the worst idea. The common wisdom is to only go for one, but to be fair their GEM programmes are not as competitive as some of the other ones, and they review applications holistically so you should stand a reasonable chance at either of them. Do make sure to apply to safer options for your other two options if you end up doing this though.
