<p>What would be the advantages of going to Harvard over Brown PLME? I can think of many solid advantages of going to Brown PLME (guaranteed med school spot, more flexible curriculum, less pressure on me and my parents). However, I can’t think of advantages for Harvard that are particularly concrete (the “experience” of being at a top institution with phenomenal classmates, the “opportunities” available). I can attempt to apply to “better” medical schools at both colleges.</p>
<p>As a side note: I’ve met two other students who are choosing Harvard over Brown PLME, but I have yet to meet someone who chose Brown PLME over Harvard. Does anyone here know of someone who turned down Harvard for a combined med program? I’m planning to commit to Brown (tomorrow?? aggh), so naturally I’m concerned that I might be making a mistake. Is pre-med at Harvard really more valuable than Brown PLME?</p>
