JD/MBA Chances (Harvard, Penn, Notre Dame,...)

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am looking at JD/MBA programs at Harvard, Penn, Notre Dame, Chicago, Villa nova, and Rutgers. I am a senior Accounting major at Rutgers College Honors Program with a minor in Spanish. Currently writing a senior thesis. I have a cum GPA of 3.84 with a 4.0 GPA in all business classes. 170 LSAT 710 GMAT. 4 years working in retail banking, 3 in supervisory positions. Interned with the Federal Government (FBI and US District Courts). </p>

<p>Like to know my chances at the above-mentioned schools for MBA/JD. Thank-you</p>

<p>You should get into Penn Law, Chicago is a solid match and you'll probably get in there as well. You also have a solid shot of Harvard Law with a 3.84/170 but its still a reach. </p>

<p>The bigger question is, what do you mean by 4 years of work experience? Did you work full time before college? Wharton/HBS/Chicago are going to be quite difficult to get into without solid work experience. I've known people who've gotten in w/o fulltime work experience but theyve all had very high GMATs, 3.8+ from Ivies and more importantly, very impressive banking/consulting summers during school. I don't know about the b-schools at Notre Dame/Nova/Rutgers but I would think you'll be able to walk into the the JD/MBA programs there.</p>

<p>Since it looks like you'd consider the midwest, is Michigan an option for you? Your LSAT score and GPA would give you a decent shot at the law school, and it and the business school are both well-ranked. </p>

<p>I think your scores are good enough to get you into most but not all of the schools you listed.</p>

<p>Have you considered NYU and Columbia? You should be able to get into those two as well. And CBS and Stern are very good schools that aren't too difficult to get into. But keep in mind MBA programs really want work experience.</p>
