What medical schools lower the criteria or 'upscale your application' if your family is poor, disabled, in care, ethnic minority, non uk citizens etc.
I believe manchester have a separate ranking for disadvantaged students. While Birmingham subsidies the tuition of poor black country students. Any other examples or uni policies? My stats below if anyone has any tips/info to help me get an edge/preferential access.
Me:
UKCAT 2640 band 2

Black
Deaf parents (both gain disability benefit)
Single parent household mother works part time
Receive student busary and live in rough area
My college's performace is mediocre
