Hi,
I'm trying to decide right now whether to enroll in Brown's PLME program or at Duke as a pre-med. The PLME program sounded great, although Brown's medical school doesn't seem to be that highly rated. I absolutely love Duke also, and their reputation in biology (my intended major) seems a lot stronger than Brown's. Is this true? Would it be stupid to throw away the chance to go to medical school without taking the MCAT? It seems like a lot of Brown med's residency matches are for internal medicine, which scares me because I'd like to specialize in either pediatric trauma or pediatric surgery. Would it benefit me more to go to Duke as an undergraduate and apply to top medical schools? Is it worth it? I live in VA, and even UVA med school ranked higher than Brown med (27 v 39). Thanks for the input!
