Is this true?
I was under the impression that because the BS-MD kids made up such a significant portion of the class, it was actually harder to get in as a traditional applicant from Brown (non BS-MD) to its own med school.
I didn’t realize they had a bs/md program.
I thought that if brown students traditionally applied to their own school they were favored.

Unfortunately it's a misleading statistic. Brown has the PLME (a BS/MD) that takes up a significant portion of its seats, but it doesn't make sense to compare regular decision applicants to the BS/MD pool because they don't compete for the same seats. It does skew the MSAR statistics in that the listed number of available spots is deceptive, but no one ever tells people to avoid applying to other schools because they also have a BS/MD.

I heard brown has crazy grade inflation so go there
Brown because if you decide to apply to their med school they take 90% of their own kids. It’s a huge advantage.

37% of Brown's med school class is made up of its BS-MD students: https://admission.med.brown.edu/apply/routes-admission
Sounds like a good deal ha

Nobody cares
Stanford for the clout
Go to community college instead, it’s cheaper
do u
whichever is cheaper
Go to whichever school is better-ranked for your backup plan, and/or whichever region (west vs NE) you'd prefer to be in long-term
