<p>I knew that Brown PRIME was an alternative to a MBA for people with a science/technology background, but I wonder how selective Brown PRIME was anyway. I couldn’t find information about selectivity anywhere, or even what’s most important to PRIME admissions (but essays, GPA, GRE, letters of recommendation all hold some weight). I felt inappropriate to post this in the business school board even though it’s still somewhat of a business degree.</p>
<p>For the record, here is my file:</p>
<p>Undergraduate GPA: 3.67 (physics-mathematics dual major)
Graduate GPA: 3.85 (physics MSc)
GRE general: V162, Q167, AW4.0
ECs: Student newspaper (3 years, head editor for 1)
Departmental assembly membership (2 years)
Research assistantship (1 year)</p>
<p>What else do I need, other than writing proper essays and getting great recs? I’m not looking specifically for chances but maybe Brown PRIME is a pipe dream…</p>
<p>I knew BEO was the undergraduate business concentration at Brown, and it is too different from conventional undergraduate business programs for Brown to even try to get it AACSB-accredited (and same goes for PRIME in the graduate arena, apparently)</p>
<p>Is there any Prime student/alumnus willing to say whether Prime is a good business program? Is Prime any good for getting into what I call “the business side of science”? How good are the networking opportunities afforded by Prime?</p>
<p>Or maybe the grad school board since it is in the School on Engineering. I don’t know anything about it either. Check thegradcafe for references too.</p>
<p>In one place they say they will accept GMAT in place of GRE and in another they say the will not.</p>
<p>But I got some GRE scores anyway; should I even want to go to Brown Prime, I will submit the GRE and IMO my GRE scores are just fine. Or perhaps I should look elsewhere once I got some work experience… like Yale.</p>
