Current attorney here strongly considering attending business school (most likely entering in 2023).
Profile:
-Aiming for outstanding GMAT showing which I think is possible for me (+740). I scored very well on the LSAT and had a Dean's Scholarship to attend law school. I also passed a very difficult state bar exam, which—while very different than the GMAT—is easily one of the most hardcore exams out there.
-3.63 GPA in Undergrad from premier state school
-Law school GPA not so great from ~top 50 program (focused on gaining experience in law school and grades weren't my focus)
-Work experience includes mostly very good quality clerkship positions, internships, solo attorney work, and now working as an attorney recruiter for a recognizable, nationwide recruiting firm
-Keeping an active law license
-Age: on current timeline, would be sending in applications at age 29 after roughly 1.5 years of legal recruiting experience, but again, I also had impressive clerkships in law school.
-White male from the United States
Reason for attending B School:
-Minor career misalignment. I love the business aspects of legal practice, but I'm not interested in law firm culture.
-True desire to do more creative, fulfilling work in entertainment, video games, technology, marketing, etc.
Andrew Yang has a quote that perfectly echoes my thoughts:
“Working at a law firm was like a pie-eating contest, and if you won, your prize was more pie[.]”
Looking for a run-down of my odds at top MBA programs:
Harvard
UC Berkeley
Columbia
Yale
UCLA
Emory
INSEAD
LBS
Oxford
