<p>I just called Brown Admissions and they said the application forms will be online either by tomorrow, or next week.</p>
<p>They can’t ever give more than vague responses, huh?</p>
<p>First it’s middle of summer, then that changes to August, then September, now between tomorrow and next week.</p>
<p>Least I got my viewbook yesterday. No app included :(</p>
<p>Is it nice? Many pictures?</p>
<p>Oh, it’s very pretty, and loaded with pics from around campus. The pictures of the architecture are fantastic. It does a great job of showing off the New England green (and a couple shots of wintertime). However, most of the pictures are either of featured students or shots of building interiors (or candid shots of non-featured students doing their student-thing in various buildings).</p>
<p>Information-wise, it has a lot of the facts and figures I had already heard (traditions, facts by the numbers, etc), having already done plenty of research on Brown, but there’s plenty of interesting bits if you take the time to read. There’s this tiny blurb about why Brown has the bear as its mascot, for example. Not necessarily essential information about the school, but it’s one of those fun facts your tour guide probably left out.</p>
<p>I was a little disappointed that a majority of the students interviewed were either International Relations or PLME/Science Related concentrators. I would’ve liked a little more variance (definitely would’ve liked to have heard more on other departments had I not started to really research Brown yet, but again not my case), but that’s neither here nor there.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info! It will probably take some time till it’s here…</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the PLME essays are by any chance?</p>
<p>Last year the questions were the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Most high school senior are unsure about eventual career choices. What factors led you to decide on a career in medicine? And why did you choose to apply to PLME in pursuit of this career?</p></li>
<li><p>[blablabla] What is your view of a physician? How do you view your role as a future physician.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
