Medical school?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am a senior high school student, and I am vEEEry interested in Brown University, particularly in Alpert Medical school.</p>

<p>I heard something like 'If you get in Brown to be a doctor, you are ensured to get in medical school". how true is this?</p>

<p>I think you’re talking about the PLME program. You can see more information about it here:
[Program</a> in Liberal Medical Education | Program in Liberal Medical Education](<a href=“Program in Liberal Medical Education | Medical School | Brown University”>Program in Liberal Medical Education | Medical School | Brown University)</p>

<p>If you’re talking about normal pre-med students at Brown, than that statement is entirely false. Though Brown has a high med school acceptance rate, you are definitely not assured to get into a medical school after attending Brown.</p>

<p>Did somebody say pre-med at Brown? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/brown-university/1284648-brown-best-place-pre-med.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/brown-university/1284648-brown-best-place-pre-med.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Oh yeah Bruno14 that was what I am talking about!</p>

<p>the PLME program has a separate and highly competitive admissions process. Please research fully and carefully. good luck</p>

<p>well, separate committee but still pretty much the same process</p>

<p>If you get into PLME, then sure you’re guaranteed a seat in a great med school. But getting into the program is harder than any undergrad school in the nation.</p>

<p>All top 30-50 universities offer an excellent pre-med education. What makes Brown “better” for pre-meds is it’s grading system. You can be a below average student at Brown and have a 3.60 GPA which will get you into med school. The most important aspect of a pre-med education is to help you get accepted into med. school. Avoid grade deflation schools like the plague.</p>

<p>^ My rebuttal to the above post is that Princeton, which is known for great deflation, has a very high rate of acceptance of its students to medical school.</p>
