<p>I’m only a sophomore in high schoolbut I absolutely love Brown I am extremely intrigued by medicine, and know that I want to become a doctor when I’m older. Coincidentally, Brown’s prestigious P.L.M.E. program seems fit for me, however, I am aware that the chances of being accpeted are rediculously slim. I am wondering what I can possibly do to improve my chances of being accpeted, and what else there is available (pertaining to the medical field) for high school students to become invovled in.

<p>Other:
For the past few years I have been compling all-time record books for (so far) my school’s baseball and soccer teams. This entails anual visits to my local newspaper facility (The Record) in order to research the school’s history. I plan on sending these books (which are relatively large) to Brown along with my app. when it’s my team</p>
<p>I am also currently in the process of having the Red Cross association come to my school to certify students in CPR. My school principle thinks that this idea’s brilliant, so I am considering talking the the principle’s of other schools to have the Red Cross visit other schools too — just an idea, and might look good on an app.</p>
<p>Also:
My father is a graduate of Brown University (making my a legacy)
He is also currently does interviews for potential Brown acceptances which,
might give me an extra bonus over other applicants</p>
