Brown PRIME

by Catria » Sat Feb 15, 2014 5:33 pm
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).

For the record, here is my file:

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)

What else do I need, other than writing proper essays and getting great recs (and maybe work experience)? I'm not looking specifically for chances but maybe Brown PRIME is a pipe dream...

https://www.brown.edu/academics/engineering/prime/ Brown Prime (from this point onward I will refer to PRIME as Prime)

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?

Or perhaps I should look elsewhere once I got some work experience... like Yale.

And, if I waited until I got 3-5 years of work experience, and somehow found a way to get that score on the GRE again (because I think that score will expire by the time I will even get to B-school) what are the business specialties of the schools on that list?

Yale
Cornell Johnson
Oxford Saïd
Cambridge Judge

Tuck, Columbia, Wharton, Harvard would be pipe dreams... or would the right WE render them actually achievable? If they were achievable with that set of credentials, then, please list their business specialties, as well.

However, my local options will require the GMAT (HEC Montreal, McGill Desautels) and I'd rather not ask for advice about those until I such time that I will actually be considering it. Given these local options I'd either go big or go home, even if some GMAT estimator I found online predicted a 730, given what I actually got on the GRE.
