6 College Match Students Achieve the Rarest of Admissions Possibilities

Six College Match students have been accepted into the eight-year Brown University undergraduate and Medical School program, allowing them to enroll in Brown Medical School without taking the MCAT Exam as long as they maintain reasonable grades as a Brown undergraduate. It is among the rarest of all admissions possibilities for high school seniors. The program usually receives 2,300 applicants (almost all from upper-income families) and only accepts 50 students a year. Very few inner-city low-income students are accepted into this program.

College Match could not exist without the generous and enthusiastic support of so many dedicated donors and volunteers.

If you would like to make a contribution to College Match, THANK YOU! No amount is too small, and all contributions are cherished.
