Thoughts on next steps with the goal of ending in Investment banking.
Hi all, I'm having trouble discerning what path I want to try and take to Wall Street and was hoping for some input. A little about me: I graduated 2022 summa cum laude (3.97) from a good school, but a non-target school with majors in Finance and International Business. I didn't land anything in IB...
MBA or JD for Private Equity Career Track
Hey all, I'm an associate at a LMM shop (Very small with only 3 people on the deal team). I'm in the DC area and plan to either apply for a part-time JD at GW Law (Georgetown is a reach) or a part-time MBA at Darden (I have already been admitted). Which is a better choice in the long term? I'm...
CPA/JD Powerhouse?
Does anyone have an opinion on the combination of the JD/CPA? I have an interest in corp dev and law and want to find a path to combine both avenues. Backstory: Entering a CPA Rotational Program with corp dev/fp&a/treasury over a 3 year period, already interned in IB and REPE. Dual-Citizen of US &...
Law/Biz dual: Finance opportunities for when I'm not in my second-to-last year of studies?
Not a JD/MBA, but I'm starting year 4/6 of an accelerated dual program where I'll graduate with an undergrad business degree and a JD. The important part is that I'm not graduating until 2023, which makes it impossible for me to accept a full-time offer at the end of 2021 summer. My business program...
PE -> JD/MBA: How to fill the summers?
For those who choose to go this route, how do they usually try to manage their internships? I imagine most don't just go Finance/Finance/Finance their three summers (assume a 4 year program), but I also assume that last summer has to be Finance if you're looking for an "exit" back into PE / HF...
JD/MBA: GPA Bar on the Law Side?
Been thinking about a JD/ MBA coming from a banking (and hopefully PE background). I know that the law degree isn't instrumentally the best career choice and I'll be foregoing two years of income for doing it, but honestly I'm just too damn curious about the intellectual experience to pass it up. I...
Someone PLEASE Talk Me Out of Taking the LSAT/Debating Law School
This site is pretty much the suicide hotline for those about to even question whether law school is for them, so here it goes... I'm a business/accounting undergrad with a solid GPA and gmat scores to get into even the best programs... though my undergrad school is a non-target, I have a Big 4 firm...
Introduction--JD/MBA aspirant and GMAT Tutor

JD/MBA Admission
Interested in getting a JD/ MBA (at a top school) for a number of reasons - I'm curious about admission to the JD program. My work experience when I apply will be purely IB (ie no law work experience) - do I need law work experience (clerkships etc) in order to be admitted to law school, or would a...
MBA or JDMBA after pre-experience Masters (MS/MMS/MiM/etc)
Hi everyone, I did a search on this but couldn't find any information that was posted in this or last year. If there's a thread that I somehow missed, please post it below. I recently graduated from a pre-experience masters program in business ("soft" business, not a very quant program like a Mfin)...
Where do I fit in?
So I've got bit of a different, though not wholly unusual background. I'm an 6-10 yr practising finance lawyer, in the last year of my MBA . Looking to move to the finance side, but having a tough time figuring out where I fit. All of the guidance I read about the lawyer switch focuses on JD's w/o...
Is JD/MBA at Harvard / Yale worth it? I live in Australia at the moment !
Hi everyone, I have dreamt of going to Yale or Harvard from young. I graduated last year from Melbourne Uni with Bach of Law and Business. I'm thinking of going to either Harvard or Yale to do JD/ MBA . And yes I am aware that I will only be able to practice law in the US. But that is fine as I am...
JD/MBA for Distressed PE and/or Rx
So the topic of using a JD/ MBA as a gateway to IB and finance has been shot down before and rightly so the JD and law in general is not quantitative AT ALL, so it does not prepare anyone or add any real value in the traditional sense and traditional avenues of finance.
JD/MBA Admissions Advantage
Very sorry if this has already been discussed. I am wondering if admissions into top MBA programs is any easier if one is already a student at the law school. If so, do you know which schools give the most "boost"? I read somewhere that both Penn and UChi give somewhat significant boosts to current...
Fixing the branding problem with a top JD
Would appreciate some constructive feedback on my situation. I'm currently in my mid 30's and I'm looking to break into PE , with a focus on emerging markets. I just completed my MBA from a reputable state school (a few BB 's come to recruit middle office, but no front office ), with a 3.89 GPA....
Where to leverage JD-MBA-CFA®? (...and maybe also enjoy life?)
So i'm at a T14 law school (in b-school it's "magic 7"...we have "T14" which is Georgetown and above). I had work experience in consulting and finance before coming back to law school. Just finished 2L and am doing my summer at a top west coast firm which dominates silicon valley and has a solid...
Accenture vs. JPM AM
I'm an undergrad at a top 15 school. I have an offer with JPM Asset Management and Accenture consulting. I am more interested in the consulting field, but I also know that I want to go into a jd/ mba program in the future. My undergrad gpa is high (within the top 5% of the class) and I will be...
JD/MBA straight out of undergrad
Is it possible, assuming high GPA/LSAT/GMAT? Is it even desireable?
Straight out of school?
Hi all, I am a rising junior and I had some questions regarding to the potential benefit of certain programs. I have explored other forums on the topic but have not found conclusive answer to whether or not it would be beneficial to either pursue: 1. Accelerated MBA (my school has a highly regarded...
JD/MBAs...worth it or waste of time?
So, I've heard pretty mixed opinions about pursuing a JD/ MBA , and I was wondering if anyone here who has experience with this can comment. Some people say that its bad because it makes you seem unsure about what you want to pursue, some say its only worth it at top biz and law schools (i.e. a JD/...
