What is PLME?

<p>I’ve seen PLME on many threads saying it is easier to get into at Brown. What is PLME?</p>

<p>uhhhh, it's definitely NOT easier to get into than Brown. PLME is the Program in Liberal Medical Education. It is an 8 year program where you get your AB/ScB in four years at Brown, and then enroll in Brown's medical school for your MD in another 4 years. It is much harder to get into than Brown, since the PLME admissions committee is evaluating you for medical school based on your high school career.</p>

<p>Hehe yes I heard that the acceptance rate for PLME this year was around 3% (or at least lower than last year's - which was 6%), whereas brown's was 13.8% or something like that. If you're interested in medicine though, it's an awesome program!</p>
