You can get into all of them easily, except for UCLA and UVA. UVA would be auto admit with an ED, but I would use your ED at a CCN, or maybe Northwestern, which with your job experience you have a fairly good chance at

JD/MBA from what I have read should only be pursued if you have a very specific idea of what you want to do with it.

Wiser heads than I can talk about the legal industry, but if you want to do patent, you shouldnt have to worry.

Narrowed the OP down to things that law schools take into account when admitting students. You will get all of these schools except UCLA. They prefer higher GPAs.

Missed the WE

You're very similar to me in numbers, but probably better in softs.

You'll get into at least MVP, and might sneak into CCN if you ED.

Should have a decent chance at everything other than the T6, but you're solid at the lower T14 (except Cal).

Good luck to a fellow Triton!

Thanks everyone!

I actually am planning still to get the work experience I mentioned on the forum. I currently am only doing masters.

I am doing everything except the work experience (plan to have it). In case things do not work out, do my chances change too much?
