Hey all,

I have a nuanced question that I’m hoping this sub could help me answer. I graduated 3 years ago with an MBA from a top 15 program, worked in Big 4 consulting, and now do finance. Thinking about applying to law programs for 2027 cycle to pursue legal side of finance / hedge funds.

My stats are as follow:

  • 3.58 UG GPA (non-target but good name, finance)
  • Similar GPA in my MBA program (grade non disclosure was a thing)
  • LSAT 179 (might retake and try for 180)
  • aforementioned work experience
  • can get LORs from well known professors / industry folks

Given that I’m a “super splitter” (eg, lower GPA and a high LSAT), does the addition of an MBA and work experience help? Realist
