<p>I've given thought to doing both, I'm not positive where I want to go right now. Is it unusual for undergrads to apply to both? Also if you choose to do it is it difficult with both applications and studying for the LSAT and GMAT?</p>
<p>And when do I start applying to law schools and start studying for the LSAT's? I'm a junior right now, and I'm wondering what the application process is like, is it any similar to what applying to college was like in high school? And what are the acceptance rates of most law school and the more prestigous ones?</p>
<p>Keep in mind that many top MBA programs require work experience .</p>
<p>there are different ways you can do this:</p>
<p>You can apply to joint degree JD/MBA programs</p>
<p>You can apply to law school work a couple of years and attend a MBA (program hard to do while working in big law and expensive)</p>
<p>You can go to work for a major corporation, if they have a tuition remission/reimbursement program, have them pay for your MBA and then go to part- time law school program after work (keep in mind that many companies are now have service commitments where if they pay for your education, you must work for them "X" number of years).</p>
<p>It might be better to take some time off and figure out what you really want to do, rather than spending the money on applying to both, especially since business school prefers work experience. Registering for the LSAT or the GMAT costs around $100--not including any books/prep courses--and each application can cost over $100. Plus, recommenders might get frustrated having to write you separate letters for law and business school.</p>
<p>Plus, how will you know if you've made the right choice? What if you choose law school because you got into a better program, and $150,000 down the road you decide you'd be better off with an MBA? </p>
<p>To answer your other questions, I don't know anything about applying for business school but the law school application process is different from college applications in several ways: they pay much more attention to gpa and test scores than to other factors, you don't ever have to do an interview or a campus tour (except at Northwestern), and there are fewer law schools to choose from than there are 4-year colleges.</p>
<p>Law school acceptance rates vary--the most competitive are well under 10%. But there are some places where most applicants are accepted.</p>
<p>sybbie I don't plan on doing both, just one or the other.</p>
<p>As for making the right choice I feel like once I am working towards a professional degree, the best thing for me to do is stick with it. I've changed my major undergrad a few times and I feel like it's enough and if I work hard in either business school or law school I'll be okay.</p>
<p>I definately don't want to start one and half-way through feel like I need to do the other one.</p>
