Northwestern JD/MBA

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>I would like to practice corporate law in the future.</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into the Northwestern 3 yr JD/MBA program?</p>

<p>I go to a Top 40 university, will graduate with a 3.7 GPA with majors in Accounting and Finance from the honors program, and have a projected LSAT score of 165-175 (based on my SAT score) </p>

<p>I plan on working 4-5 years at one of the supermajor energy companies as a financial analyst in (Joint venture, treasury, controller,operations-gas) business units before I apply and should have plenty of opportunities to accrue leadership experience.</p>

<p>I like the idea of a 3 year program as opposed to a 4 year program because I don't want to have one more year of opportunity cost go by wasted.</p>

<p>The LSAT range you give is very large. Assuming you hit the middle of the range (170) your chances for Northwestern's law school are about 55% (just based off of the numbers). Your work experience would be valued by Northwestern, and would give you a leg up. If you want to practice corporate law you can do so without getting an MBA. You could also wait to get your MBA after you practice law for a few years.</p>

<p>I think the main point is that the OP could get a JD and an MBA in three years.</p>
