<p>What exactly is Brown looking for in applicants to the PLME? How selective is it (statistics is always the best way to explain this)? Brown’s site doesn’t give a lot of information about it.</p>
<p>If there are students looking here who got accepted, pleaaaase let me know what you think got you in! Was it your essays? Your high school transcript? etc</p>
<p>I'd like to know the same! LOL</p>
<p>As an example, in 2004-2005, there were 1,400 applicants to the PLME. Of that number, 103 were offered admission to the PLME and an additional 116 were offered admission to other Brown degree programs. </p>
<p>--idk if you already saw that on the site</p>
<p>Just a general question about applying to the PLME...</p>
<p>I heard somewhere from somebody that if you want to apply for PLME also, you need one extra rec from a science teacher. But I haven't found that on the application or on Brown's website, so I don't think it's true... but confirmation would be appreciated.</p>
<p>The application online does provide another recommendation for a science if you're applying to PLME. What I don't understand is, what kind of teachers must the other two recs be from?</p>
<p>GoldShadow, yes, it's true, if you're applying to PLME or for a ScB in chem, physics, compsci, or engineering, you need a supplemental rec from a science teacher.</p>
<p>ManyNumbers, if the Brown app doesn't specify who should write your first two recs (and I can't remember if it does or not), then use your discretion. Generally, it's always wise to choose a humanities teacher and a math/science teacher, but if you definitely need the 3rd science rec, the other two teachers are all the more up to you. I guess it depends on what your interests are and what your relationships are like with your teachers. For my part, I asked for recommendations from my physics, calc/geometry, and history teachers.</p>
<p>My bad, I was tired (or blind) when I was looking through the application and I just noticed it too. Thanks.</p>
