What's the Acceptance Rate for Brown's BS/MD program?

I'm really interested in Brown's BS/MD program, but I hear it's pretty competitive. Does anyone know the acceptance rate for this program? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Brown's Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME), which is their combined BS/MD program, is indeed quite competitive. While exact numbers might change from year to year, acceptance rates are typically very low.

In the most recent years, Brown PLME tends to accept somewhere between 3% to 4% of its applicants. So out of every 100 or so applications, only about 3 to 4 students gain acceptance. That said, it's important to remember that these numbers are not the only thing to consider when applying. The admissions officers are looking for applicants who demonstrate a strong passion for medicine, have excelled in rigorous academic courses, and have meaningful experiences in healthcare related extracurricular activities.

While the acceptance rate might look daunting, the key is to focus on building a strong application. Focus on showcasing your interest and commitment to medicine, your academic prowess, and the personal characteristics that would make you a successful doctor. Exploring your motivations to pursue a career in medicine in your essays can also be a strong addition to your application. Remember, each application is reviewed holistically, so even if it is extremely selective, every applicant is individually assessed and has a chance of being accepted.
