ok, so at Brown, PLME students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and are NOT required to take the MCAT.

but don't places look at MCAT scores for residencies and even jobs and stuff? How would they view BROWN PLME students who haven't taken the MCAT?

MCAT = Medical College Admission Test.

For residencies, etc. your USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam) scores are the important scores. You take Step 1 of the boards after the preclinical years of med school. That's right, there's an entirely new round of standardized exams (three, actually) to take after the MCAT.
