it’s a priviledge to have an early acceptance to med school–the question of which program is better is moot

the sage advice is to choose the places you most want to be since you are signing on to them for the next 8 years of your life

some advantages to the Brown PLME that make it particularly attractive center around the idea of making those 8 years into a continuum in which you are encouraged to pursue wide interests both within and outside of medicine. PLME undergrads may take classes at the med school and med students may take classes at the college and grad schools. this approach tends to produce a very diverse and accomplished student body. in addition to becoming doctors, students may do field research in a third world country, writing novels, running non-profits, etc.
