<p>I've just been accepted to both Princeton and Brown PLME 8 year guarantee.
Princeton has always been my dream school but I would love the PLME's learning experience and environment. I know that since Princeton has started grade deflation, some students have become pretty miserable. Premeds definitely have a difficult time standing out from the crowd and competing with students from other ivies. Should I take advantage of Brown's PLME? Should I choose the safe choice over prestige??</p>
<p>You’ll probably enjoy the guarantee of Brown’s medical school more than grade-grubbing at Princeton to get into a medical school. Congratulations.</p>
<p>My daughter has been accepted into Brown -PLME and will be attending. Princeton is a great school, but the opportunity to be on a pre-med track and have the freedom to take the courses that interest you without the stress of having to maintain a pre-med GPA at another great school, is too good to be true. To be Pre-med and to be able to really enjoy college is the beauty of the program. Good luck with your decision.</p>
<p>if you are certain you wanna go into medicine, then PLME is the obvious choice :)</p>
<p>If you joined Princeton, do you know what you’d major in?</p>
<p>The reason I ask is because if grade deflation’s your worry, most majors pre-med students are interested in (the sciences), the grade distributions haven’t changed much since there wasn’t inflation there to begin with.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Yeah… medicine = Brown PLME</p>
<p>you should look at the PLME as more than a safety net - you should look at it as an exceptional opportunity to spend your undergrad years pursuing your own unique passions instead of checking of medical pre-requisites.</p>
<p>however, if you are uncertain about medicine and/or are drawn to princeton for some specific reason it may be the better choice</p>
