Hey Stacey!
I've been looking at the Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, and Penn/Wharton JD/MBA programs and want to know what to realistically expect. I have a stronger profile for law school as my work experience is limited. I'm a senior at the University of Florida and the numbers I provide will be either expect by the end of senior year or scores I've already received.
GPA: 3.70 (predicted)
Major: Anthropology
LSAT: 178 (official)
GMAT: 780 (I took a practice test and got a 710 without study, along with my LSAT score my 1520 SAT score should indicate I can get around the 780 range through study. I was weaker in math which I haven't taken in a few years.)
Extracurricular: So far, only intramural sports like basketball and weightlifting. During my senior year I plan on joining a few clubs that are more professional such as pre-law.
After I graduate I will be going to Japan to teach English through a government sponsored program. I will most likely stay there for a year but it is possible I stay for two. The second year I can work as a "Coordinator for International Relations" and work with Japanese businesses, which I'm sure would look more impressive than teaching English.
My work experience is very non-traditional, but will it provide me with some sort of benefit for b-school? I am taking courses in Japanese language now and will most likely be fluent by the end of my stay.
I want to go to a joint jd/mba program for a few reasons. I would like to work in corporate law and the mba would give me knowledge and skills necessary for moving up, networking, or switching fields. What do you think my chances are of getting into these top jd/mba programs?
Thanks alot!
