From what you have listed, I would think you have an excellent chance of making the “first cut” from general reading of your application, into the “look at for PLME” group. (and that means a good chance at regular application). So if PLME really feels right for you, I would give it a chance. You will have to answer the question for yourself (and express it well in your application) as to whether the PLME program is a good fit for you, and you for it. So do invest the time into the app. Remember that in the final admits/denials for PLME that many students who have “perfect” credentials will still not get into PLME. There are many subtle factors (the whole class can’t be female/asian/ from NE etc) and there are far more applicants who are qualified than slots. One question I often ask on interviews is "if you didn’t get into PLME, how “right for you” would Brown’s standard acceptance be?
