“regardless if youre going, the PLME program is MUCH MUCH more prestigious then Union/AMC, this should be a nobrainer for someone who got into browns program” -brad8222

… u are making no sense to me

first, prestige is for the egotistical
so thats all i have to say about that

second, djlethal…
u should make ur decision based on which program best suites YOU…
meaning take into account [as i am sure you are and will]
major and curriculum
location
cost
residency possibilites
social aspects

the last thing that anyone should do… is go to brown because its “prestigious”… who judges prestige?.. USNEWS!?
brown undergrad is very prestigious
the medical school is not
and AMC and BROWN med skools BOTH get their students into very good residencies… as long as you do well on your boards and rotations you can get any residency… and brown med is not significantly better than AMC… they are on the same level [above average medical schools]

so djlethal, i think you are doing the right thing by going to brown if you want to be able to pursue a more “broad” undergrad curriculum
you will never get your undergrad years back… might as well take advantage of them…

but my point is… is that if you decide to go to Brown or Union, do it for the right reasons [which im sure you will]… i get deeply irritated and irate when ppl think that you should go to brown “just because iuts prestigious”…you should go to the place that is best for what you want to accomplish in life… and each program has its pros and cons in different areas
