<p>how lucky you are that i was lurking this forum! :o </p>

<p>I was rejected from PLME in addition to brown itself last year.</p>

<p>SAT/ACT: 2390/35
SATII: Math II 800; Literature 730; Chem 700
HS GPA: 4.35/3.85 (Top 4%)
AP Scholar w/ Distinction
National Merit Scholarship Winner</p>

<p>As for my extracurriculars, I was big into music and I had 4 years of varsity waterpolo/swimming with awards in both, but I had very little in the field to offer along with PLME; I had done hospital volunteering and interned at a small clinic, but my profile just wasn’t compelling. </p>

<p>I had an incredible interview with my Brown representative [she later decided to recommend me to an assistant dean of admissions among many other candidates] but in the end, I suppose it didn’t matter; my same interviewer called me after I was rejected and said that it had been because I applied PLME. I later contacted the admissions office and they said that applying PLME did not hurt my chances of normal admission; I’m undecided who was right. In hindsight, I see that I was foolish to apply for PLME without having a perfect GPA, amazing SATIIs/APs and a huge connection to science in my resume; with my background in music/sports and nothing too substantial to show my interest in pre-med, I think applying PLME just made me look somewhat foolish on paper. I suppose the point that I’m trying to get across is that if you’re not an amazing, compelling candidate, it’s not really worth applying.</p>
