[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, this is very helpful and promising. If the student decides to just do the 4 year undergrad program after a couple years in (decides to change major), is there a problem getting into other programs? In other words, what if they decide that they do not want to pursue medicine?[/quote]

You can major in anything you want (as long as you take the required science classes). I went to brown, and my friends in the PLME program were less likely to major in biology than other pre med students.[/quote]

If you must study medicine 4-7 years, why do bio?  Do something insanely crazy you won’t have a chance to do as a med student - fine arts, music, etc. [/quote]
For my kid it was a "keeping workloads manageable" thing (full disclosure: not in the Brown PLME student, just a regular premed). By doing bio, all of her classes that counted for the bio major also counted for the premed requirements. Having to take the premed classes AND entirely unrelated classes for a major is quite a lot to juggle, and she is a big believer in the Keep it Simply Silly acronym. Plus, she just likes biology. It's her favorite subject. why not study what you love AND what will make your life manageable AND what will check off boxes for the career you want? [/quote]
