Guidence Regarding studying MBA/JD(Law) [#permalink] New post   22 Mar 2023, 21:14
Hi Everyone,

I have a query regarding studying Joint MBA degree with Law from US university.
Can anyone pls suggest what are the requirements if I want to study MBA with Law. Presently, I hold total 10 years of work experience in HR domain and had done PGDHRM from Symbiosis from Pune university. I just need to know if I want to apply to any joint degree course in US specifically in law what would be the requirements for it.
Do I need to appear for Gmat only or have to appear for Lsat too???

Please reply at the latest.


Thanks in Advance!

For the most part, you need to have an LSAT and GMAT/GRE score to apply for dual admission. In nearly every case, you need to be accepted to both the law school and the business school separately and then after can be 'admitted' for the dual degree track. We put the admitted in quotes because it's not all that difficult to get the dual degree after having been accepted to both schools.

There are some programs that might not require all the exams. Northwestern's law school, for example, had not require the LSAT for some time. You should check if that is still the case.

Other than that, having a bachelor degree and, for the business school, some years of full-time work experience are the only actual requirements. All of this information is available online on the respective admissions office websites. You should check them out.

Thank you so much for the clarification. I had checked the Law courses with Cornell Johnson maybe they don't require any Lsat score.

Yes, that's very likely and hence why you must go through program by program. It's a pain but a necessity!

Yes, I had checked with few more universities but they require both Gmat and LSAT scores. Considering, all these factors which include my age and work experience both. I think that I should go for one year MBA program and then later after completion of MBA I will consider to pursue a law degree and that too alongwith the job. What do you say? Would that makes any sense?

The MBA plan makes sense, though if I were you I would also open yourself up to the part-time or executive MBA programs too. With 10+ years of experience and your overall plan, that might make more sense and may be easier for you to get into brand name programs.

The law school approach seems unusual. Are there many part-time programs? Also, law school tends to skew younger since most attend right after completing their undergraduate degree so I would check out how truly viable that plan really is. We're not experts in law school; we do some work with law school admissions but we're mostly business and graduate school focused.

Good luck,
Admissionado

Yes, I totally agree with you with 10 years of experience it will be a way more difficult for me to get admission into a one year program in a top B-school, but I believe it's not that impossible if I be able to explain my case more precisely in my essays. And one year MBA program makes more sense to me.
