<p>I am very interested in combined med programs, especially PLME(my first choice). I was inspired to pursue a career in medicine through several experiences including research and service. Since 8th grade i have worked extensively in clincal research at UPenn and have had the privilege of publishing four papers/abstracts so far in leading medical journals. On the other hand, I have also been active in service through travels to Lima, Peru, and organization of a local charity. At GW, I was told that they will weigh the humanitarian aspect more than the academic one. I was wondering what Brown will weigh more and which side i should stress more in my essay and application. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Why not stress both? That’s kind of the logical answer. I didn’t have an extensive background in humanitarian work, but my academics were certainly strong. In my essays, I wrote from both standpoints, however. An integration of those two perspectives as well as other aspects that are necessary for medicine. I guess that was what they were looking for since I got in.</p>
