<p>I think you have a solid chance at brown and plme! Chance me back!</p>

<p>I think you have an amazing chance at Brown. Even given the competitive nature of PLME, I think you are definitely one of the stronger candidates. If I have to nitpick though, you could have been more involved with medical EC’s.</p>

<p>My GUESS is that you will get into Brown regular, and not into PLME, will attend Brown and LOVE being a premed there! Hey, it is just my guess, but I’d love to have you let me know if I was on spot.</p>
