Applying to Brown PLME ED

[AverageTeen2000]

Is it possible to be accepted to Brown but not PLME when applying to Brown PLME ED?

In this case, is the applicant required to go to Brown if he/she applied to Brown PLME ED? Or can he/she decline because they weren’t offered a PLME spot?

Thanks!

A student applying early decision to the College and the PLME may be admitted in December to both the College and the PLME. However, some students may be selected early decision for admission to the College only and not the PLME. In this circumstance, * the student will be bound by the early decision agreement to attend the College regardless of non-acceptance into the PLME program. *

Those who apply early decision and are admitted to the College and not to PLME will be reconsidered for the PLME during regular decision.

**Those students who do not want to be bound to the College at early decision without being admitted to the PLME program are asked to apply through Regular Decision.

In the past, PLME ED applicants were not bound to attend Brown if they were accepted to the College but not to PLME. The policy was changed two years ago.
