The Brown program is very odd. I can tell you that of the non-Brown undergrad acceptances, some are also via undergrad linkage programs through other Rhode Island colleges. Rhode Island has no state med school, so there exists some sort of agreement between Brown and other area schools. I did my undergrad at Providence College (also in Rhode Island) and I know that several (I believe 5) undergrads were accepted into Brown Med (I think this is a fixed number; e.g. about 5 for every year). Also, Brown takes several undergrad students from the University of Rhode Island, and I believe also Rhode Island College (although fewer). On a side note, if you really want to go to Brown Med, the Providence College route can't be beat. First, the financial aid at PC is incredible for top hs students. Second, you find out if you've been accepted into the Brown-PC linkage sometime near the beginning of junior year! That means that two years into your undergrad, you already know what med school you're going to (plus that school is Brown)! Of course, I think the program may only be open to Rhode Island residents, but it really can't be beat. Plus, the same person that goes to Brown for 36k/year and goes the PMLE route could probably go to PC for free and still end up at the same medschool. Also, not to hype my undergrad or anything, but its really a wonderful school, so RI residents should definitely consider the option! Other than that, Brown does take some people from the Brown-Dartmouth linkage (although this is a med school, not a post-bacc linkage) and from Bryn-Mawr (post-bacc) and from Columbia (post-bacc). However--and I can only speak about the Columbia linkage--Brown only wants URM's and people that have been out of college for a long time and worked in the healthcare field (e.g. older post baccs)--at least this is what my Columbia Post-Bacc advisor has told me.
