Law Student Profile Evaluation
[#permalink]
Updated on: 10 Nov 2012, 15:38
Hi all,
I'm a current third year law student who is thinking about getting my MBA after a few years. Was wondering about my chances and what I can do to improve my profile.
College: T30
GPA: 3.55
Majors: Political Science/ Economics
Law School: T14
GPA: 3.4
GMAT: haven't taken yet. I got a 1470 on the SAT math + verbal, and 171 (97 percentile on the LSAT). Haven't done math in a while, but I used to be pretty good at it. Hopefully there is a slight correlation between these standardized test and the GMAT?
Leadership: Ran a bunch of clubs in college, but only did academic things in law school (i.e. I'm on two law journals, was a research assistant, etc.)
Work Experience: Worked as a summer associate at a major international law firm, and will be returning after graduation and working for a few years in the M&A or Corporate or Banking practice groups for a few years to pay off my loans before I pursue an MBA.
I want to get an MBA because I would like to work in the tech/ start-up/ VC industries on the business side, but I don't have any "business-y" or tech-related experience on my resume. I feel like i would need the MBA to get my foot in the door.
Any insight into how my profile might be perceived by schools? Also, what things should i be doing to improve my application? Thanks in advance for any advice!
