    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    Campus politics isn't a concern for me. I know I'll encounter different opinions wherever I end up in life. If I end up surrounded by people with different viewpoints, I'll stick it through. Thanks for the response though!

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    Like Capt MJ said, apples and oranges. I know both programs have different requirements and are looking for different things because they have different end goals. Their stark differences are what's making this a thinker for me. I'm not looking at the prestige or acceptance rate of a program...

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    Sounds like we are/were in similar shoes! I want to ask about ROTC and medicine- were you also a BS/MD program? To my understanding, you have to apply for an educational gap to do medical school with ROTC. Medicine is not guaranteed when you do ROTC because they may have you serve first/not...

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    The appeal of the BS/MD program is not just not taking the MCAT, it's a guaranteed admission to the Brown medical school. If I go to Brown and I don't get a military scholarship, I will be taking student loans to finance my undergraduate and medical school education. The military scholarship...

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    Drastically different choices. This difference adds more pressure to my choice as my life will be very different depending on what I choose. It's a little crazy that of all the places I applied, these are the two I'm choosing between.

    My father said I'm either paying with my time and future or my wallet... nothing is free!

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    I am not currently offered an ROTC scholarship and would be applying and competing for one once in college. If ROTC doesn't work out, I will be taking student loans. I hear that ROTC's purpose is to graduate officers, like USNA. ROTC cadets have to be approved for an educational gap, however...

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    All the Brown ROTC programs are at other colleges -- AFROTC is also in Worcester. Army ROTC is closer at Providence College. I talked to Brown ROTC students, across Army, Navy, and Air Force, and they talked about the annoyances of travel. I'm not concerned by the travel logistics (though it may...

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    Yes, I have a full appointment to USNA and accepted to Brown BS/MD. I got my USNA appointment months before my Brown acceptance. I had accepted I would be going to USNA because nobody expects to get into Brown BS/MD and then... surprise. I did all the research, talked to current and previous...

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    I understand NROTC is the most selective ROTC for medicine so I would likely be doing Army ROTC or AFROTC and Brown. Service time isn't a con for me at the moment as I want to serve in the military. The Brown price tag is a big one. Appreciate the points and response!

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    I have been unable to find anyone that chose between a service academy and a BS/MD program. I'm sure they're out there, just haven't been able to track them down.

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    Hello, I am a current high school senior choosing between the United States Naval Academy and Brown PLME (8 year BS/MD program). The Academy and medicine are both dreams for me and I know they might not be compatable. Brown PLME Pros Cons guaranteed admission into Warren-Alpert medical...

    ANSWERED: You can receive multiple nominations, however, not getting nomination from other MoC because I’ve already gotten one?

    Thank you for the response!
