Chance me GPA 3.50 T14

Post by APerez114 » Mon Feb 21, 2022 11:31 pm

Hi!

I’m South American (think Brazil or Argentina) with a 3.50 GPA LLB from my country (B+/2:1/8,50) and currently pursuing an MSc in Finance from my country (my GPA here may vary between 3.0 and 3.6).

Work:
I have two years of experience as junior associate in a Top National Law Firm and want to break in US Big Law by doing a JD-MBA ínstead of the typical LLM. I also worked nine months in two different counties in law related jobs 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.

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 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) What are my chances for T14 JD-MBA Program (Nortwestern-Pennsylvania-Chicago-Columbia-Cornell-Duke)? Would having a 3.6 GPA in LLB have improved a lot my chances in these universities?

2) What other options should I consider if my GPA is too low for T14? Are Notredame or Boston JD-MBAs good options?

3) What are my chances of obtaining a scholarship?

3) I also want to know if submitting an LSAT is mandatory for JD-MBA programmes or the GMAT/GRE is enough.

4) I’m also considering obtaining Italian citizenship. Would this fact enhance in any ways my application?

Thanks a lot!
