Yes, you can’t fail a course at Brown but you can’t pass a premed course without great efforts either, not to mention getting an A. Here is the thing, you choose a premed course; you go to an exam; the median score of the exam is 56; there are some people scoring above 90 (big standard deviation values. It is a very good exam which can distinguish who actually learns the course material.) If you unfortunately scored at 30, what do you do? Most people would drop the course and move on. At Brown, no failed course (I assume you have dropped it right before final exam) will show up on your transcript. You can choose to retake the course if you believe you will succeed the second time around. But if you realized that you might never learn the material at the high level, you would permanently move on to something else. You can’t do this at other schools. If you failed a course at other schools, it will show up on your transcript. Your GPA is screwed. A girl at UPenn jumped in front of a train three years ago when she realized that she couldn’t drop a course she is failing.

Yes, there are courses which you can get an easy A.
Brown’s vibe is non-competitive. You are competing with yourself.
