Test Optional
In Brown PLME page, it is mentioned that Student can apply to PLME Early decision or Regular decision.
Does this mean if the student applies to PLME ED and gets admitted to undergrad only but no PLME, is the student bound to join Brown?
Correct. So only apply regular decision if you are not wanting to attend for undergrad

Reflection:
Apply widely for BSMD and start preparing early as it will be overwhelming towards the end. Prepare ahead for interviews especially for MMI style
Somethings we learned:
Apart from the academics, ECs, doing well in interviews, it is still a hit or miss for these programs. Applying widely improves chances of getting one or two programs

I believe its an interview format with multiple short interviews rather than one longer one.
Congrats on your acceptances! How are you liking stony brook so far?
Congrats on your acceptances! How are you liking REMS at UofR?
