<p>Here are my questions</p>
<p>Which is harder to get into, any ivy league or a BS/MD program?</p>
<p>Which is harder to get into... Brown PLME or Harvard?</p>
<p>Answer the poll with two responses. </p>
<p>POLL will be totalled later for final results.</p>
<p>Much thanks.</p>
<p>It all depends on which Ivy and which BA/MD program</p>
<p>and Brown's PLME is supposed to have a lower % admit rate than Harvard, but I actually think that Harvard is harder to get into</p>
<p>yeah the first question has too many variables to answer.</p>
<p>Brown PLME is harder I'm pretty sure. like 5% acceptance rate??? that's half of Harvard's acceptance rate.</p>
<p>But, you have to consider that when they publicize 11% acceptance rate for Harvard that includes all the legacies, athletes, and URMs. For BA/MD programs, its usually the best of the best medical students going for the best medical positions. I know of more people getting into PLME & HPME, but getting rejected from Harvard. I know of one instance, vice versa. So, although I may like PLME and Co better, I think Harvard is harder to get into.</p>
<p>I'd say, take this poll after everyone knows where they got in. Without a doubt, many of the people on this forum applied to both. It'd be interesting how real statistical data shows.</p>
<p>hmm.. good point. it definitely will be interesting to see how it really plays out this year.</p>
<p>hmm thanks guys, any more opinions?</p>
<p>most students that apply to med programs are of the caliber to be admitted to ivy league schools. I applied to many BA/MD programs as well as Ivies a couple of years ago and you find the same caliber of students interviewing for spots in these programs/schools. I was accepted into the competitive ivies as well as the competitve and not so competitive BAMD programs. I ended up choosing a BA/MD program and am glad I did. Good luck.</p>
