<p>It’s impossible to predict chance for PLME, as there are so many qualified students that many very qualified students will get turned down. I think there is a good chance that you may make the cut to be put into the consideration for PLME sub group. Some of that will depend on the tihings you haven’t said, or can’t really know, like how your recs will “read”. I hope one of them can be from your internship supervising MD or PhD and that they know you well. Also your GPA doesn’t tell us how you rank, how competitive your school is. Anyway, best of luck!</p>
