<p>If I didn’t get accepted to PLME ED, would that mean I would most likely be deferred? I’m debating whether to apply to PLME and if it would hurt my chances to get into the Brown itself if I didn’t get into PLME.</p>
<p>If you apply to PLME with less than spectacular medical-related ecs, it will hurt your chances of getting into Brown. PLME is for those who are certain they want to be doctors. If this is not blaringly obvious in your application, the adcom will think you applied to PLME – and by extention Brown – on a whim.</p>
<p>Not true. As long as you check the box on your application that you will be bound to go to Brown even if you don’t get into PLME, applying to PLME will not hurt you. My daughter did that and got accepted ED at Brown and deferred PLME (eventually accepted PLME ).</p>
