Anybody know of someone who has made the jump to B school after law school? Forum

Currently at a t-14 law school, but am slowly realizing I have zero interest in practicing law. Did undergrad at t-10 USNWR institution and have a 760 GMAT on record.


Anybody out there know of someone who has made a similar jump to HBS or Stanford GSB? I am entertaining making the move to B school after I graduate law school.

Do you have any work experience?

This does not answer your question, but have you considered a dual degree?

why don't you just skip B-school and go straight into business gig? If I was you, I'd start brushing up on my interviewing skill and sending out resume. It also depends on how costly finishing law school will be.

Why not just skip graduate school altogether and become an entrepreneur? Why go into more student loan debt and waste more precious, irreplaceable youth? A graduate diploma, even from Harvard, doesn't guarantee anything in today's economy.

Not exactly similar, but a lot of people here know that I was law school or bust. Ultimately decided to work for two years in the corporate world and now I'm pursuing an MBA as my employer will pay for it and my GMAT is on par with yours. Very excited about the decision.

i realize that this answers absolutely nothing that you asked.

I know of a person or two who did an MBA and then grabbed a JD later in life, and a number of people who are in the 1L or 2L year and apply (and get admitted) to the B-school to do the joint degree.

I feel like it would be extremely difficult to graduate from law school and then go to b-school with no intervening work experience. That said, extremely difficult is not the same as impossible. Every rule has exceptions.


ETA: B school at Stanford and Harvard is not all about stats. Stanford even moreso is about who you are as a person and whether or not you fit. The stats are just the baseline prerequisite that pretty much everyone has, but doesn't set anyone apart.

Ah yes, because becoming an entreprenuer means keeping your youth- which I'm guessing means not working as hard?-and taking less risk than having any degree whatsoever from Harvard.
