“Given that Brown’s renowned and very special eight-year pre-med and medical school program admits only about 60 students each year from around the world, we are very proud of Margaret and Leah, both for being accepted,” said La Salle President Brother Michael Mc Kenery. “We look forward to staying in touch with both of them as well as Michael and Christopher and watching the progress of these four extraordinary young people.”
