SSplash77,

PLME lets you apply out without losing your guarantee.

I think the US News WR rankings are not as important as the resident match list.
IMO Brown has a better match list than Fienberg. Also, although NU undergrad is ranked higher, Brown undergrad is more selective. PLME has no GPA requirement and only requires you to get a B in Biology to stay in the program. If you want, you can take the rest of you classes Pass/fail. Quite a few people have trouble keeping the 3.2 GPA at NU.

You can not go wrong with either program. Congratulations to those who were fortunate enough to get into these programs.
