Hi APerez114,
Thanks for your post!
First, I would like to mention that two years of experience as a junior associate in your National Law Firm is massively relevant in terms of work experience. Moreover, as you have mentioned, you have international job experience and have also done an internship, this could provide you with an overall boost!
Coming to your GPA, it’s decent; however, a lot depends on your GMAT. Moreover, for an average score regarding Harvard & Stanford, a score of 740+ is a must, while for above schools like CBS, Pennsylvania Cornell, Duke, a score of 710+ is a must!
Regarding your ECAs, you have been a teacher assistant, a member of two student associations during your LLB, done an exchange program, and also have a tech law diploma, so all in all, I can say that you have strong ECAs which could be capitalized well by mentioning examples of leaderships, the skill-set acquired and the impact created in the life of others.
Harvard & Stanford could be a bit of a stretch while your profile is adequate for schools like Tepper, Columbia, duke; however, a lot still depends on your GMAT as it could be a game-changer in this aspect!
Coming to scholarships will depend on your overall application and GMAT score. Moreover, the joint degree of each school has set their own set of values & principles, so what we can do is mold your essays and profile to align them with the school values since a lot depends on how you mesmerize the adcom with your essays.
Overall you have a good profile. If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further chances for admission to your target schools. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.

Hi!
I'm South American (think Uruguay/Chile/Brazil/Argentina) with an LLB from my country and currently pursuing an MSc in Finance from my country, too.
Work:
I have 2 years of experience as junior associate in a Top National Law Firm and want to break in US IB or Big Law by doing an MBA or a JD/MBA. I also worked nine months in two different counties in law related jobs while doing undergrad and MSc International Exchanges and six months in an internship at a local court. Now I'll spend a year working on consulting in my country in a middle size and not well known firm while I send my MBA or JD/MBA applications and wait for the results.
Extracurriculars:
I had been in two student associations during the LLB, did an exchange program in an important university (think Australia, NZ, Netherlands, Singapore), been a teacher assistant in one undergrad subject and took an additional law diploma during undergrad in a topic related to Technology Law.
I also did another exchange program during the MSc in a great university (think France, Denmark)
My questions:
1) Are my non-US LLB and MSc GPAs reportable? I think they are equivalent to 3.5 and 3.3 (USA System -not 100% sure-) / 2:1 (UK System)
2) What are my chances for MBA or JD/MBA Programmes at Harvard-Stanford-Pennsylvania-Nortwestern-Chicago-Columbia-Cornell-Duke with this background? Haven't taken GMAT yet, but which should be at least my minimun score to be a good and realistic candidate for these schools?
3) What other options should I consider if my profile isn't enough for the universities mentioned?
4) What are my chances of obtaining a scholarship?
Thanks a lot!
