<p>I feel that my stats and E/Cs are not as outstanding as most other applicants, but where can I get in? By the way, I want to apply ED for the PLME (Brown U is my first choice anyway, and it'd be freakin awesome if I can be a PLME student). However, I feel that my chance for both regular Brown and the PLME is pretty low, and I will also apply for several BS/MD programs (I'm not saying the BS/MD programs are easier to get in). Neways, where can I get in? </p>
