<p>So I’m working on my essays right now, and I know for certain that I want to major in either biomedical engineering or cognitive neuroscience (or something of the sort). However, when Brown asks for the essays:</p>
<p>If you are interested in one of the following multiple degree programs at Brown, please indicate the program of interest and respond to the required essay(s). Upload your response and include your full name, school, and birth date at the top of the page.</p>
<p>Engineering (Limit your total response to 500 words.)
- Many applicants to college are unsure about eventual majors. What factors led you to your interest in Engineering? (Feel free to elaborate on your response to question 2.)
- What experiences beyond school work have broadened your interest?
- Brown offers ABET accredited programs in Biomedical, Chemical and Biochemical, Computer, Electrical, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering. Engineering-Physics is offered as a non-ABET accredited degree. Aerospace, Environmental, and Structural Engineering can also be pursued within the six core ABET accredited disciplines. Since there is a common core curriculum within Engineering, students need not select a specific area until their junior year. We are curious to know, however, if any particular program within Engineering presently appeals to you. If so, please discuss that choice. (For more information: Brown Academics - Engineering)</p>
<p>Program in Liberal Medical Education
- Most high school seniors are unsure about eventual career choices. What experiences have led you to consider medicine as your future profession? Please describe specifically why you have chosen to apply to the Program in Liberal Medical Education in pursuit of your career in medicine. Also, be sure to indicate your rationale on how the PLME is a “good fit” for your personal, academic and future professional goals. (Limit your response to this question to 500 words.) </p>

<li>Since the Program in Liberal Medical Education espouses a broad-based liberal education, please describe your fields of interest in both the sciences and the liberal arts. Be specific about what courses and aspects of the program will be woven into a potential educational plan. (Limit your response to this question to 500 words.)</li>
</ol>
<p>Should I check both and answer them? But wouldn’t the essays end up being somewhat redundant? Or at least the first question would be… I would really appreciate help!</p>
