I knew that Brown PRIME (I will thereafter refer to PRIME as 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). It's still somewhat of a business degree.
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 (some work experience?) and getting great recs? I'm not looking specifically for chances but maybe Brown Prime is a pipe dream...

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 seek a conventional MBA after I get some work experience...
