<p>Stella,</p>

<p>REMS likes to see some heavy leaning toward research. Your cv indicates more leaning on the arts side than Medical Research. </p>

<p>Reg PLME, I suggest you look up the archives of accepted students to get an idea on the lowest SAT scores that get acceptance. In addition, it also depends on how many students with stellar SATs and ECs from YOUR OWN school are applying to PLME. Although these schools do not overtly mention this, they do have a ceiling on the number students they accept from each school. </p>

<p>All said, your music ECs are likely more attractive to PLME than REMS.</p>
