Premed at Brown means no grades? Is that right???

Brown does give out grades (A, B, C, …) but no plus or minus(this is bad…if you miss the cut-off for A, your grade drops to B, no A- or B+ to save you).

You can S/NC any classes… even in your major(concentration in Brown’s term) but you’ll need departmental approval in that extreme case. S/NC policy is to encourage students to explore non-major areas without worrying about grades.

Pre-health Office at Brown tells pre-med students must take the required pre-med courses in letter grade because AMCAS/med schools AdComms expect letter grade in those.
