I have to ask...
Why is a PhD/JD taking the GMAT, too?! Are you going to add "MBA" to your resume?!
You must love school!
Just got back from the exam. 770 Total. :D

"I am a math PhD with a JD"
Why in the world would you need an MBA??
I thought lawyers and judges make good money!
And you can always do a personal MBA.
Btw 770 is the closes to 800 I've seen. Maybe 780 I recall.

I do love school, but there are a couple of practical reasons, too.VP_Jim wrote:I have to ask...

I had a good job before I started law school and managed to get through it without any debt. As I began prepping for the bar, I received a generous position (lawyer salary, 40 hours per week) with a Fortune 500 company and I started to wonder about the 60+ hours per week lawyer lifestyle. So I took the position and I'm enjoying it, but it looks like climbing the ladder will be easier with an MBA - and the company is willing to pay for it.
So I'll use the JD for patent stuff on the side and to keep some of my shadier friends out of trouble. If I get into and through a good MBA program, hopefully the combination of degrees will be uncommon enough to open some cool doors for me. In any case, it can't hurt
