I have been working as a lawyer in London for two years (my only two years' work experience) and would like to do an MBA.
I studied at Cambridge University and attained a good GPA, however I am worried about the GMAT because I haven't studied maths in 10 years!
I am aiming for the 700s, but we'll see about that

My main question is whether business schools will look down on an applicant with a legal background.
My work has centred on banking and asset finance, so it is relevant, but I will have to really draw out leadership experience as legal work is very team led rather than allowing one individual to lead.
Are business schools hesitant to take on 'career switchers'?
What is, in yout opinion, the best way to sell my legal experience.
My honest reason for making the switch is that I am fascinated by the business decisions managers make, and in law I only execute the very formulaic part of these very interesting transactions - the wrong side of the table, so to speak.
Any advice would be gratefully received,
Many thanks in advance,
Vanessa
