My Accepted Brown PLME Essays

If I had to name a single reason why I was accepted to Brown University's PLME, it would be these admissions essays

These are the personal statements that helped me stand out amongst hundreds of other PLME applicants, many of which had similar scores and arguably more competitive resumes. I spent months drafting and editing these essays to give my best response to the questions of "why medicine" and "why PLME"

This full package includes:

✅ The two personal statements that got me into Brown University's Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME), word for word

✅ Four pages of in-depth analysis on why these essays worked and my own tips for crafting a powerful response to the questions of "why medicine" and "why PLME"

✅ The five personal statements that got me into Brown University, word for word

The prompts for the 2017-2018 college admissions cycle were:

📝. Most high school seniors are unsure about eventual career choices. What experiences have led you to consider medicine as your future profession?

Also, be sure to indicate your rationale on how the PLME is a ‘good fit’ for your personal, academic, and future professional goals. (Please limit your response to this question to 500 words.)

📝. Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences. (150-word limit)

📝. Why are you drawn to the area(s) of study you indicated earlier in this application? If you are "undecided" or not sure which Brown concentrations match your interests, consider describing more generally the academic topics or modes of thought that engage you currently. (150-word limit)
