What are my chances for brown PLME???

<p>ok here it goes</p>

<p>Turkish male im applying to Brown's PLME program
SAT 1980- CR-640 Math-680 and writing -660
SAt's Bio-730 Chem-700 MAth IIc 640</p>

<p>7 honors classes
7 ap classes all A's except a B+ in Spanish and a B in Chem AP
didn't report my ap's although they were 4,4,3
im ranked 3 from 1000 and my gpa is 4.3</p>

<p>my essays were decent
my recs seemed really good i think</p>

<p>my ec's are really good like 3 pages of them including researching and shadowing doctors also im the president of a lot of clubs and much more</p>

<p>so how do u think are my chances for brown and PLME</p>

<p>I don't think you'll get in with those SATs/SAT IIs and "decent" essays. Unfortunately, brown's plme is very hard to get into. Also, your list of ECs shouldn't be 3 pages long, cut out all the unnecessary things and compress it down to 1 page max.</p>

<p>I agree your scores are too low for Brown, much less PLME. No one should have 3 pages of ECs. Adcoms will role their eyes, clearly you have not focused on a few passions. Read the thread on impressing with ECs. Shadowing an MD is not going to impress anyone.</p>

<p>bump anyone else so i have no chance cut me some slack im a urm</p>

<p>can someone give me a percent</p>

<p>Turkish is not a URM.</p>

<p>Your SAT score is too low. Usually, people have a 2100+ score when accepted to Brown. Also, 3 pages on EC's was not a good idea...that will just seem desperate.</p>

<p>Annnd, agreed with the person above me, Turkish is not a URM.</p>

<p>Even if you were a URM (Turks are not, some are Asian, ORMs), PLME is a program that needs really strong math/science skills. It's intense and moves fast. It's not the kind of program colleges relax qualifications much for anyone.</p>

<p>im glad ur using the "URM" card to buy "slack"</p>

<p>thats not how it works in college admissions...colleges dont justify "ooh he has low SATs..but its okay cuz hes an URM"</p>

<p>1980 is a modest score for someone ranked #3 out of 1000 students btw</p>

<p>Yeah...I hate to continue this dismal trend, but your chances are really near nonexistant. </p>

<p>There are some similar programs that are not quite as selective as PLME, but they're all pretty selective...I think any one of them would definitely be a reach for you.</p>

<p>I would focus on doing really well in college, and totally owning the MCATs, and applying to med school in four years. There's a reason why you go to med school after college...it takes a lot of education and maturity to be ready for it. There are a few select kids who have so excelled in high school, colleges feel confident that they will be ready for med school when that time comes. That doesn't mean you won't be, it just means that maybe you need a little longer to prove you can do it.</p>
