YesI wonder if they interview the BS/MD students as a formality and that is factored in?

Amen to that.No its because they know who they will want to a good approximation based on the application and dont want people to have to get there and spend time and $$ for nothing. Its how they all should be!
They do not could the PLMEs in their interviews offered.I wonder if they interview the BS/MD students as a formality and that is factored in?
So I assume that would increase the IS portion? Would living in RI for four years make them IS? Would that be the major source of the 13 percent difference?

In state is where you pay taxes or vote or own property. They are the only med school in RI so they have some obligation, but it's a really small number of applicants from RISo I assume that would increase the IS portion?

Anyone have any idea why Brown has such a high Post-II acceptance rate?
Do you think the spreadsheet floating around on SDN accounts for this, or would Brown not include the PLME data when giving interviews/acceptances?PLMEs are not interviewed but given acceptances, which plays a role in the high “acceptance” rate.

According to data from US World News, Alpert once interviewed 389 applicants and accepted 278, matriculating 143. This is 71%.
I am not entirely sure of how PLME data is reported, but they are definitely part of the matriculant and accepted numbers. Considering that PLME takes about 60 students, you can remove 60 from both of the latter two numbers. Consider accepting 220 out of 389 interviewees (57% effective acceptance rate), or 220 out of 329 interviewees exclusive of PLME, (67% effective acceptance rate)
What's also true is that Alpert simply interviews very few applicants in comparison to other schools. I never applied to PLME, so I cannot comment specifically on that, but I know that PLME does not conduct interviews for applicants, other than the general Brown alumni interview. This suggests that none of the 389 interviewees were PLME students, giving a more moderate acceptance rate of 57%.
Compare UVA, a similarly ranked medical school which has a 68% post-interview acceptance rate. 57% is now not as extreme.
So likely still above 50 percent acceptance rate (as a result of heavy pre-II screening), but PLME positively skew the acceptance percentage. Makes senseI would say that the spreadsheet does not account for this. It is a special case where Alpert has to report the total number of acceptances (including those given as a formality through AMCAS to PLMEs).
I do know that PLME students still have to officially go through all the motions of applying through AMCAS.
With this assumption, here's the math for acceptance rates.

Congrats!! LM? Complete date?II just now !
Congrats!! LM? Complete date?
Edit: I hate that I've become this person, but I'm genuinely curious/trying to figure out how it all works.
Received an II last week (9/16)! Was trying to figure out if they are rolling admissions, and according to MSAR they will send out first acceptances on 11/15. I am interviewing on 10/10. Can anyone verify the 11/15 who has already interviewed? apologies for the neuroticism

They also said they had several waves. When I interviewed (mid Sept), we were in the 11/18 group. Not sure if 10/10 will also be included in this, but they will tell you at your interview!
Mine took about 2 weekshow long does it take to get a secondary after sending in primary
Send your primary as early as possible. Just an FYIIf it takes 2 weeks to send the secondary, should I not send my primary this weekend? I was planning to
I emailed a host from the list and they were super nice! I would go for it, I'm sure they're very receptive if they signed up to be on the listHas anyone interviewed and stayed with a host? I'm not quite sure how to request one using the document they attached -- did y'all email individual hosts yourself?
I did and loved it! Email them yourself with info about when you're coming, leaving, etc.Has anyone interviewed and stayed with a host? I'm not quite sure how to request one using the document they attached -- did y'all email individual hosts yourself?

last week of JulyComplete date?
They said 45-50% when I interviewed, @Enterococcus has a good explanation on page 2 of this thread!
Ah wait you are right now i remember lol, they said 30% are outright accepted, then they fill to about 50% off waitlist or something...
So happy for you!!!!
Congratz! Do you mind telling us your complete date and LM?
Early July, 77-78Congratz! Do you mind telling us your complete date and LM?
LOLIt seems like they are slower at popping out II's, is this correct?

Just to add to this, they are one of the most selective schools when it comes to interviewing (~6%), so if you receive an II, they're already interested.They also don’t send out as many invites as most other schools (there were only 12 interviewees on my day). they definitely REALLY look at the apps in detail—all of my questions were pretty specific to me and the dean like recognized my name from looking at my file. So I think it’s mostly just that they’re extremely meticulous in vetting apps before sending out IIs.
I’d hold out hope—I think I was only the third interview day in early-mid October so I think they might’ve started interviewing a bit later than other schools
