Hello Everyone,
I am hoping that someone can help me decide which MBA program I have a shot of getting into. My stats: B.A - 3.35 (Applied Sociology), J.D. - Top 10% (cum laude), 3 years professional work experience, and prestigious legal internships. My GMAT practice average is running between 710 and 720. (I know that doesn't mean anything, but let's pretend.)
Does anyone have an admissions background that could help me choose a target area?
Thanks.

You question is very broad. What kind of programs are you trying to target? What are your career goals? Are you only interested in U.S. schools? U.K.? Europe? Asia?

Based on your stats and academic experience, I think you'll be accepted to the University of Phoenix Online; easily and maybe even with a scholarship of at least US$1,000.

Sorry for being vague. I am interested in U.S. schools. I would like to be a risk management consultant. Preferably in the Insurance Industry. With that being said, a top 20 school is probably necessary. Any recommendations?

You are probably right! Although, I would probably get a better scholarship than that. Considering I will have a doctorate, I should be able to get into a higher ranked school than University of Phoenix. I appreciate your response to my post, but maybe you should spend your time in a message board that requires less knowledge about higher education.

So based on what you gave, I gave you a fair answer. Maybe I should spend more time on boards where people require less spoon feeding.

I would recommend that you select a school based on your interests (risk management and consulting). Don't restrict your target schools based on a perception of what you may or may not be qualified for. Contact the schools of interest directly and ask them if they would be interested in someone with your background and interests.
Is your JD from a top school?
How much (and what kind of) work experience do you have?
Are there any other interesting characteristics that may set you apart from other candidates?

OP, let's flesh out your profile just a bit...
You have a JD but now want an MBA? Was your law career just unfulfilling or do you want to become a jack of all trades?
Basically: why not an LLM?
