Greetings, I majored in political science and minored in business and graduated cum laude from my undergraduate institution. I then got my law degree from a Tier 1 law school, where I earned a business law certificate with honors. I took business law courses such as corporate finance, corporate and partnership tax, secured transactions, closely-held businesses, corporate law, and law and economics, to name a few. I clerked for a judge and for private firms prior to law school and all throughout law school. After passing the bar last summer, I took my first job with a medical malpractice civil litigation firm. However, my passion is business, specifically corporate finance and tax. I have decided the best way to break into the business law world is to get an MBA, but I only believe it is worth the investment if I can go to at least a top 30 program. Although I believe the background in finance that I could get from a MBA program concentrating in such would make me more attractive to business law firms, or in-house counsel positions, I am not at all opposed to working in the corporate world, and not actually practicing law, if the right opportunity arose post-graduation from an MBA program. I am open in that sense. I've been accepted into LLM in Taxation programs, but I think an MBA would cast a wider net, and lead to more jobs in my wheelhouse of interest, whereas tax is so specialized and thus limited in terms of the type of jobs it prepares you for. My question is, how would I measure up to other MBA applicants? I have not worked in the world of finance, I have only learned about it through law school. I was in school 3 of the last 4 years, but I did clerk for law firms that whole time and got work experience. I am employed with a law firm currently, but I don't practice business law. I have not taken the GMAT, but I am ready to sign up for a course. In fact, I need advice on which course to take. What score range will I need to be competitive? Again, I am hungry for information to determine if an MBA is worth the investment, and how likely I am to get into a quality program. My current state of mind is if I can get into a top 30, I would not hesitate to go into a one-year program.

Thanks in advance for any insight or recommendations.
