How on earth does this joke/rumor persist? Christ it was already tired and old over 10 years ago when I was applying.

Funny story though. My attending for outpatient medicine was a Brown alumnus who did in fact take all of his undergrad courses S/NC prior to going to Penn for med school. He also graduated in like 1974 and was one of the first classes to have all 4 years be the new curriculum. He did say some schools refused to consider his transcript complete even then. He fully acknowledges there’s no way you could get into med school that way now. Anytime we weren’t talking clinical medicine we were talking about Brown, lol.
