PLME- just how selective is it?

The small number of PLME applicants does not really affect the overall admit rate. Disregarding the PLME applicants, the overall admit rate would probably be 14% instead of 13% (if even that much). Moreover, the 4% admit rate is for PLME only… this fails to take into account that some PLME applicants are accepted to Brown but not into the program so it’s impossible to say that 96 out of every 100 PLME applicants are rejected when some of those “rejected” from PLME are included in the “accepted” rate that is posted.
