<p>Should I apply early decision for Brown PLME or hope to be accepted at MIT with early action?</p>
<p>I've always wanted to go to MIT, but MIT doesn't offer Early Decision to its applicants....
I also want to study medicine and become a doctor, but admission to medical school is really low and Brown PLME would offer me the option of not having to deal with the uglier parts of being a pre-med student and fighting my way to the top....</p>
<p>I'm confused...=(</p>
<p>bump, anyone?</p>
<p>my wife went to MIT for undergrad and grad school. though MIT is an amazing place, it is (in my opinion) a terrible place to be pre-med unless you are very confident you can step into a room with some of the most brilliant and hardworking students in the world and pull off straight A's. medical schools care most about grades above everything else, and MIT pre-meds are at a real disadvantage in this regard.</p>
<p>if you're sure about medical school, i think PLME is the best program in the country.</p>
<p>if you're not sure about med school, and are passionate about either engineering or scientific research, MIT is wonderful.</p>
<p>thank you for your advice!</p>
