Hi,
I posted this on Reddit earlier, so this is a copy paste:
New to the forum and I made a throwaway. I'm interested in my chances for applying to a JD MBA as a 1L (started this month).
Background
Work experience: CPA that worked at a very well known Fortune 100 company in corporate accounting (forecasting/closing process, etc) for two years. Also did some teaching at the community college for about a year. Stopped to attend law school.
Extra curricular: Own a tutoring company in my spare time (for about 2.5 years). Was chairperson of the finance committee/director on a board of directors at a 501(c)(3) for 1.5 years before I started law school.
Undergrad school/major: Big Ten business school: Accounting/Finance/Economics (3.9 GPA); MS: Accounting 4.0 (got this for the CPA hours and it was discounted as a 5th year).
Other education/coursework: Started at a top 3 school (one of Yale, Harvard, Stanford) in August. I am interested in applying to a top 5 MBA during 1L year. I know my current university will shave a year off the MBA, but I'm not sure if that's possible if I pursue an MBA at another school.
Race/nationality: White
Sex: Male
Stats
GMAT Score (include breakdown!): 720 (Q47, V41, 8 IR). I'd like to not retake since 1L year is so time consuming and latest to apply to HBS for example is Jan 4. EDIT: I should also say that I took the GMAT earlier today (Sep 1, 2018), which is why I didn't post this earlier. The schools listed in the title are the schools I told the GMAT to send my score to.
Undergrad GPA: 3.86 (Is it ok to say 3.9?)/4.0 (Accounting, finance, economics); top 5%. MS Accounting: 4.0/4.0 (Class rank: 1st)
MBA Info
Goal of MBA: Go back to my Fortune 100 company. They want me to get some law firm experience and a lot of the tax or technical accounting positions are JD MBAs. Lots of internal corporate counsels are JD, CPA, MBAs and I'm attracted to those positions.
Target schools: HBS, Wharton, Stanford, MIT, and Booth will get my GMAT score. I'm not sure if I'll apply to others. I'd like to get an MBA now since I don't know if I'll ever go back to school after law school and I can save a year.
EDIT #2: I am also 27 years old if that's helpful. Took a gap year after my MS in accounting to take care of my aunt who had severe illness (for about 10 months). I included an addendum in my law school app accounting for this gap...I'm not sure if I need to do so for an MBA application since it was from 2015-2016.

MBAJDThrowaway curious about your screenname here? Hope you don't consider yourself to be a throwaway! Should I call someone ? lol
I urge you to retake the exam, now that you have some momentum, rather than trying to get back into study mode later.
As a white male with a fairly vanilla background, you will be a bit overrepresented and want to be at or above the average.
Not saying it is impossible otherwise, but 20 more points and a quant of 49 would help a lot.
I realize the first year of law school is pretty busy....I actually did one year at Tulane myself...before acknowledging I was in hell it was not for me and I prepared my applications around L1 finals if you can believe it (retook GMAT and then I applied only to late deadline schools.) Anyways make sure to take the time needed to do the applications WELL. As Stanford says, it is about selection, not evaluation meaning it's not about checking boxes but really articulating the unique contribution you would bring to the school. Start that introspection ASAP.
