Anyone happen to know whether you can apply to more than one track at Penn? Emailed them but didn't get a response. I don't know if I want to apply to the diversity track but I feel obligated to bc I'm an underrepresented minority. Of course I care about diversity and representation but also I'm a MD/PhD and I would like to focus the bulk of time I have outside of clinical responsibilities on basic science
