Who's smarter: Students in Top MBA Schools or Top Law Schools.

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>Do you say Law School Students are Smarter than business school students? Who works harder?</p>

2

<p>I say students in the graduate school of arts and sciences.</p>

3

<p>Top Law students are probably more IQ smart.</p>

<p>Top MBA students are probably more entrepreneurial smart.</p>

4

<p>Law school students are smarter, but business school students are clearly wiser.</p>

5

<p>

</p>

<p>:lol: </p>

<p>But really, I think they’re both smart, but in different ways. Top law students are often smarter in verbal/written/persuasive/logical; top business students are often smarter in quantitative.</p>

6

<p>Definitely correct. They generally use two different modes of focus when resolving their issues.</p>

7

<p>no question that analytical/reasoning ability is better at law schools. but “EQ”, ability to win friends and influence people, is much more highly prized (and on display) at business schools.</p>

8

<p>Top Law students are probably more IQ smart.</p>

<p>Top MBA students are probably more entrepreneurial smart.</p>

<p>right…</p>

<p>clearly not impressed by some of the comments here. And op, what prompted you to ask such a daft question? </p>

<p>It’s impossible to even attempt to answer such a question. I mean we’re talking about at a graduate level here! It’s the classic apples and oranges, or a crossbreed of both. Very daft of you OP.</p>

<p>A better question would be the difference in prized skills of law students vs that of MBA students.</p>

<p>Hello all, I say students in the graduate school of arts and sciences. </p>

<p>I’d agree that law students are more smarter.</p>

<p>This is coming from an MBA hopeful.</p>

<p>See, I even said “more smarter” - which is bad English.</p>

11

<p>Hrrm… I know many people that did liberal arts and social sciences at the undergrad level who could do PhD work in the fields as well. They just don’t want a job in academia and want more career options… many of these do professional schools like med/business/law and are equally as smart.
E.G. there are many brilliant economics students who go on to business school, there are many brilliant philosophy students who go on to law school, there are many brilliant biology students who go on to med school.</p>

<p>The truth is, most brilliant people can do any field they want.</p>

12

<p>Frankly, it depends on the career. And do I need to mention that there are schools which offer dual MBA-JD degrees? Are they the smartest by default for getting both degrees?</p>

13

<p>Clearly students in Top MD schools. Logical/reasoning ability + EQ.</p>

14

<p>a 760 GMAT and a 167 LSAT are equivalent IQ scores according to Mensa. The LSAT has higher IQ resolution at the extreme top end, but both exams are IQ tests.</p>

15

<p>There’s equally smart people in both programs. People are different and have chosen different paths to where they want to be. I doubt there is a measurable difference in IQ between law, business, sciences, humanities, etc… At the grad school level, there are smart hard-working people everywhere.</p>

16

<p>Both are smart, the degrees are entirely different. This is trying to compare apples to oranges. </p>

<p>Honestly, who asks crap like this? The better question is why you would care in the first place.</p>

<p>The OP wasn’t asking for a comparison of the degrees, but of two groups’ average intelligence, which is not an illogical comparison. I don’t understand your point.</p>
