Recent Emory Law grad (2017) -> Goizueta with limited work experience?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if it's possible or at all likely that I could get accepted into Goizueta next cycle based on my background.
I recently finished my J.D. at Emory. I focused heavily on the corporate and transactional side of law by completing the Transactional Law and Skills Certificate at the law school. Basically, I took all business oriented law classes, without any litigation or trial work besides what was mandatory. I also took one class at the b-school. My legal work experience totals about 9 months, split 1/3 in commercial litigation and 2/3 in transactional work (mostly real property with some franchising and securities reg work mixed in). Between undergrad and law school, I worked at a small firm for about two years. I am now studying for the February GA bar while searching for a full-time attorney job in Atlanta. That said, and without going into too much detail, I really don't enjoy law that much (unfortunately reflected in my GPA) or see myself staying in practice for long. I think the MBA has always been a better fit for me. Do you think Goizueta is within reach based on my professional/academic background, or would I be better off working a few years with my law degree? This assumes a competitive GMAT or GRE score.
Thanks a lot. Your input is appreciated.
My stats if it helps assess the situation: Undergrad: 3.94 GPA from a top 50 Law: 3.1 GPA (tanked my 1L year, but made mostly A- grades in the transactional/corporate classes).
