JD/MBA Admission

Depending on their career plans, many applicants are seeking an MBA and law degree. Others may be seeking only a law degree. In either case, The MBA Exchange provides the insights, guidance and support to maximize chances for admission to the best possible law school. Our consulting team includes experienced JD graduates and practicing attorneys with the admissions expertise to help our clients pursue their goals.

Of all the various dual degrees available in the marketplace, none has a more significant impact on one’s career than a JD/MBA. The combination of degrees in law and business tells the world that the holder is someone of substance and stature, ready to face and resolve almost any issue that arises. Given the additional cost and time required, this is not the path for everyone. Only those whose career goals are relevant to this dual focus should pursue it. And for those who decide that a JD/MBA is for them, it’s essential that they target the very best schools to ensure a return on that investment. (If you’re interested in other dual degree programs such as MBA/MPA or MBA/MPP, or even a PhD program, please let us know as we provide customized admissions consulting engagements for such campaigns.)

The MBA Exchange has helped applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to gain entry to top-ranked JD/MBA programs including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Penn, Northwestern and Chicago. For a free evaluation of your JD and MBA candidacies, please complete the respective evaluation request forms.
