PLME- just how selective is it?

keep this in mind: the thing about med programs is that there’s a pretty standard set of criteria as to what things you should have on your resume (hospital volunteering, high scores, scientific research and/or other medical experience) – of course, fulfilling these criteria doesn’t guarantee you admission, but not fulfilling basic expectations seems to deny you it, in general

so even though the numbers may indicate that med programs are more selective than, say, harvard or princeton, i’d say that if you have the expected things, you’ve got a good shot – you know, generally, what they’re looking for

my friend who got into PLME even said that he may not have gotten into brown had he not applied to PLME. it’s a different monster, ya know?
