wobudong,

Brown (Alpert Medical School) has increased its class size and is admitting more students through the standard route now (and will begin admitting some med school transfers) - so PLMEs are no longer the majority. I believe the plan is to continue increasing med class size, increasing the percentage of non-PLMEs over time.

According to the Brown website:
“For the Fall 2008 entering class, Alpert Medical School received 2,877 secondary applications and gave 76 offers of admission through the standard route.
Of the class entering in Fall 2009, an estimated 50-55% will be non-PLME students.”
