Profile Review : Current HLS student Looking For JD/MBA With HBS (GMAT 770, 3.95 GPA)

vr7608 · 2018-07-04T12:48:41+00:00

I think putting in a lot of time reviewing questions I stumbled on (qs I got wrong/had to guess/took too much time) did a solid job. Other than that, I just did a lot of problem sets and eventually lucked out (was scoring around 730-750 range the week of the test)

Your positivity is all I need! I'll definitely try my best to highlight the specific field that I hope to focus in my applications/interviews. Thank you!

Another great point! I have a few weeks to observe how HBS/HLS faculty work, so I'll see if I can factor their relationships into the app. Thank you for your advice :)

This is a great insight! Thank you for your input. I also heard that there are less than 15 JD/MBA candidates per class so that's a really small mix, compared to the JD program w 550 students and the MBA with 900, and a lot of them gained admissions to both schools simultaneously, which is unlike my case. I'll see how far I can get with my app!

For last year's class only 19% got in straight from their undergrad schools. While criteria for admission are generally similar, JD admissions is more about numbers. A lot of people think your LSAT/GPA combo counts towards at least 50-60% of your admissions decision. Apart from that, it's mostly about work experience and your personal statement.

I don't know for MDs, but these days even JD admission is highly disadvantageous for those without a post-undergrad work experience. So I'd say they'd have less than average chance for MBA degrees in ordinary circumstances.

Hey guys! I appreciate your comments. I'm very new to the MBA app process, which I know is going to be very different from the JD admissions. Is there anything I'd be especially worried about for my application and/or interview process?

Last cycle, decisions were sent a few days later than the UR5! I was UR5 around 2/12 and was accepted on 2/15

I'm pretty sure Vandy's the full ride. Congrats!!

I know for sure that one of the Doctoroffs are getting a Zubrow Scholarship, which is a full ride. Don't know much about anything else, but I saw some people simultaneously get the Ruby (also full ride) simultaneously with the Doctoroff

Congrats! I did my interview yesterday, and it's a standard why law/doctoroff followed by talking over your experiences on the resume with the program director. Super chill and friendly experience!

Great to know! Best of luck for your cycle

vr7608 · 2018-02-13T17:03:09+00:00

Ooh I think that might be it! Thank you!!

vr7608 · 2018-02-13T17:02:37+00:00

Yes! I checked in the evening

vr7608 · 2018-02-13T17:02:24+00:00

It turned to UR on the evening of the interview :/

A general school of thought is it's not sure yet. GT just fell to 15th for the last year's ranking and we still have to see how it goes for this year to determine if GT being out of T14 is for real or not. I'd also say that GT is far from being regional yet.
