Re: J.D./M.B.A. Rankings
Being in the area you eventually want to practice in is seriously important especially when you're comparing schools that aren't even remotely close.
(Cambridge isn't that far from NYC so, even if you did want to end up in NYC, it probably wouldn't be wise to forego Harvard BS for Columbia.)
But if you wanted to practice IP in Silicon Valley I'd don't care if you got into Yale and Harvard, it would be pretty damn silly to not go with Stanford. Unless, you have your own private jet, you're never going to go over there and network with firms and businesses in the community. The importance of this (networking) is far greater in B-school so, yes, I can very well see someone choosing Columbia over Chicago GSB in a heart beat.

Re: J.D./M.B.A. Rankings
I wasn't arguing that Booth as a program isn't more respected, I was just saying most people tend to choose CBS over Booth, probably for location reasons (both being closer to certain employers and personal affinity for NYC). CBS' placement in finance is quite good, even if it's it's due to more to the location/alumni network than the program itself.kurama20 wrote: The bolded is simply untrue. Booth is definitely more respected than Columbia Business school and it has the second best finance program in the country.
And what I was basing this off of is the fact that of the four people making this decision at my consulting firm last year, all four went to Columbia. This dude (admissions consultant) also agrees with me (http://adam-markus.blogspot.com/2007/09 ... ision.html).
Really it's kind of a silly argument though - they're both very good schools that specialize in finance, and really it's going to come down to whether you'd rather spend 2 years in Chicago or New York. I'm just saying more people choose New York than Chicago.
Edit: Should disclose that I have a horse in this race.

Re: J.D./M.B.A. Rankings
Note that the OP's post is from 2.5 years ago. Based on the 2010 rankings, a lot of the schools would shift downwards or upwards. Northwestern, for example, would be several places higher today.sayan wrote:never knew stanford had a good b-school.... in fact, I don't see how your rating is correct since you assume SBS is #1 (SLS is #3).

i know an individual with a Columbia JD and a Stern NYU MBA but they weren't simultaneous.Unadilla Kayaker wrote:As a 0L planning to get a JD/MBA, I was wondering whether anyone knows of someone (or has done) combined JD/MBA with the JD at one school and then the MBA at another. I know it adds a bunch of levels of all sorts of issues, but does anyone know someone who has done this? From what law school and what MBA program? Just curious if it could be done. I'm not (yet) planning to do it or inquire about it.

Re: J.D./M.B.A. Rankings
Yeah, it may be true in your experience but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's true in general. I worked for a major financial services corp and Booth was definitely considered top tier, right along with HBS and Wharton.kurama20 wrote:The bolded is simply untrue. Booth is definitely more respected than Columbia Business school and it has the second best finance program in the country.I'd also add that business schools also have a lot of variation between specialties and student choice follows the rankings a lot less. Anecdotally (I don't have stats to back this up, but from my experience it's pretty true), most people would choose Columbia Business School over Chicago GSB in a head-to-head, even though the latter is ranked higher. Similarly, a very significant majority would choose Wharton over Kellogg, even though they're tied, though it might be the reverse if you wanted to go into marketing.
For JD, though, Columbia toes take the "prestige" cake (outside of HY and possibly S) in my very limited experience.

Depends on a lot of things but (generally) probably not.Moneytrees wrote:Is there any point in business school if you dont go to a top tier program?
JD/MBA isn't for everyone, even at a top tier program. A non-top tier program makes it even less useful.

depends. many people go to lower tier business schools because their job pays for it and/or an MBA will help them advance at their current job. other than that, probably not.Moneytrees wrote:Is there any point in business school if you dont go to a top tier program?

Re: J.D./M.B.A. Rankings
I get that. I just dont see the point of going to a tier 1 school and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for that sort of degree. Not sure what tangible benefits you are getting in doing that.chimp wrote:depends. many people go to lower tier business schools because their job pays for it and/or an MBA will help them advance at their current job. other than that, probably not.Moneytrees wrote:Is there any point in business school if you dont go to a top tier program?

in the situation i mentioned, the tangible benefit is usually a pay increase/better job title/increased future earnings. other than that, it's useless.Moneytrees wrote:I get that.

Re: J.D./M.B.A. Rankings
Depends on your UG also. For a personal example, I'm pursuing something that simply can't be done from my UG alone, but from my graduate program is not only possible, but is perhaps the number one (and certainly in the top 3) most represented school in the field. It's the difference in telling people who have that job that you want to do what they do, and the answer being:chimp wrote:in the situation i mentioned, the tangible benefit is usually a pay increase/better job title/increased future earnings. other than that, it's useless.Moneytrees wrote:I get that.

"Well that's certainly going to take hard work and I wish you the best of luck"
versus
"Oh, great, let me put you in touch with Person X and Person Y. They've done something similar and can help on that path. How else are you positioning yourself now? Part of Group X? Good, we hire from there every year. Sounds like you've got the right plan, if you want to summer here I ca help make that happen, and you can leverage it to get to here and then..."
