<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am applying to Brown, and I came across this question:</p>

<p><>Early Decision to Brown University (Nov 1 deadline)
<>Early Decision to Brown University and the Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME) (Nov 1 deadline)
<>Early Decision to Brown-RISD Dual Degree Program (Nov 1 deadline)
<>Regular Decision to Brown University (Jan 2 deadline)
<>Regular Decision to Brown University and the Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME) (Jan 2 deadline)
<>Regular Decision to Brown-RISD Dual Degree Program (Jan 2 deadline)</p>

<p>I was only able to click one option. Is it possible, however, to apply to both Brown University (Biology Major) and Brown PLME? </p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>Isn’t that precisely the second option (for ED) or the fifth option (for RD)?</p>

3

<p>Aleph0 is correct. By clicking the 2nd or 5th decision (depending on ED or RD), you will be applying both to Brown and to PLME.</p>

4

<p>So if I get deferred for PLME ED, do they send my app to Brown?</p>

<p>What do I do if I only want to be considered for PLME ED, but I want to be considered for PLME first and then Brown if PLME rejects me for regular decision?</p>

<p>It doesn’t work that way. Your application is always considered by Brown (the College) first, then subesequently by PLME if you get accepted by Brown.</p>

<p>From the PLME admissions website:</p>

<p>"An early decision applicant who indicates a desire to be considered for entry into the PLME may be admitted in December to both the College and the PLME. However, some students may be selected for admission to the College but not the PLME. The Office of College Admission realizes that these students may not wish to be admitted to the College under a binding early decision program if they are not also admitted to the PLME. Hence, the office asks all PLME applicants to indicate whether they wish to be considered under a binding early decision plan if they are not admitted to the PLME.</p>

<p>Those who answer “yes” that they want to be considered as an applicant to the College under its binding Early Decision program but are not admitted to the PLME, may be admitted, deferred or denied by the College. Those who are admitted to the College are bound under the early decision agreement; they may or may not be admitted to the PLME in April. Those who are deferred from the College may be admitted into the PLME in April under a nonbinding program. Those who are denied will not be considered again.</p>

<p>Those who answer “no” that they do not want to be considered as an applicant to the College under its binding Early Decision program and are not admitted to PLME, may be deferred or denied by the College. Those who are deferred by the College may be admitted into the PLME in April under a nonbinding program. Those who are denied will not be considered again."</p>
