What kind of jobs could I get with a J.D./M.P.A. joint degree?

<p>I am taking the LSAT in June and am preparing to graduate with a B.S. in Health Science with a concentration in Health Services Administration. I would like to go to law school and work in health law upon graduation. The law school I am looking into offers a joint J.D./M.P.A. degree, which interests me because I was looking into a Masters in Public Administration prior to preparing for law school. What kind of jobs could I get with a J.D./M.P.A. joint degree?</p>

<p>I don’t know the answer your question, but I would advise you to look into the resumes and qualifications of people who are getting hired into the kind of job you want to do.</p>

<p>What law school are you looking into? What’s your GPA/what are you PT’ing at? </p>

<p>I have a 3.4 GPA. It depends on how I do on the LSAT but I am looking into St. Mary’s University, University of Miami, and Southern Methodist University.</p>

<p>How’ve you been doing on the practice tests? Those schools are a bit…risky, in terms of employment outcomes. </p>

<p>I started self studying mid-March and have been scoring around a 150. Two weeks ago I started a Powerscore LSAT course which ended today and I feel way more confident and feel I have a better understanding of the material on the test. I am going to take another practice test on Tuesday to see where I stand now. Ideally, I would like to have a 155-160 on the real LSAT. I will take your advice in hand and continue looking at more schools. Do you have any recommendations?</p>

<p>1) Go through the PowerScore prep books
2) Drill (some people buy the Cambridge package: prep tests 1-38, arranged by question types and by difficulty, for LR, LG, and RC)
3) Do prep tests 38-71, under strict time constraints</p>

<p>^This is a copy/pasted go to method for most 170+ scorers. I sent you a PM with some advice as well. Best of luck!</p>
