<p>Joint</a> Degree Program in Law & Business</p>

<p>What do you think about this? Other than the very expensive price tag, any problems with doing this? It'll probably put an unimaginable load on the human brain. But besides that...</p>

<p>looks good but personally I would go to UCLA LAW they have a similar program less the price and still from a very prestiges school . But if you can afford it great.good luck</p>

<p>JD/MBA programs are fairly common, and Harvard is certainly not alone in offering such a joint program. You should know that when applying to a JD/MBA program, you apply to each program separately, and must gain admission to each program on your own merits. In other words, you will need to have the high LSAT score/GPA, recommendations, personal statement, etc. to be considered for admission to Harvard Law, and you need high GMAT score, solid full-time work experience (5-7 years is typical), excellent professional recommendations, etc. to be considered for admission to HBS.</p>

<p>There has to be a little overlap. A GPA in Harvard Law’s reach covers Harvard Business School. Strong recs for Harard Law/Business should be good for the other school. And I believe admission into Harvard 2+2 program would make be eligible for the Joint Degree Program. So there may be at max 2 years of work involved in here. But scoring High on both the LSAT and GMAT will probably be the hardest thing to do here.</p>

<p>I know someone who is doing it right now, he loves it. He was accepted out of undergrad.</p>

<p>That’s your call. You asked for advice and I gave you mine based upon actually having completed a JD/MBA at a top program and having interviewed many JD/MBA candidates for jobs over the years. If you think that two years of work experience will be sufficient for you to gain admission to Harvard’s MBA program, and it is certainly possible, than by all means, please make that your goal. If you are convinced that with only two years of experience you will compete effectively against your classmates for jobs at the end of your program, than again, please make that your goal. I merely offered advice, and you need not follow it.</p>
