Is an MBA right after a JD/LLm in law (concentration in finance) realistic w/o much professional experience?
I am an undergraduate student at a major public university who intends to apply to law school upon graduation.
My ultimate desideratum is to be admitted to either Columbia law or USC law, both of which have a dual JD/LLM program with the London School of Economics (in which one may specialize–I plan on doing so in finance).
Afterward, I would like to pursue a MBA and a concurrent PhD in finance math (Yale, Ross (UM), Tepper (CMU) and others have such programs)
Do you think that a JD/LLm grad with little or no experience in the professional arena, but with a plethora of experience in finance law (via one’s legal education) would be admissible to a good MBA program? I know that those right out of college are almost inadmissible, but what about those holding first professional degrees (in law)?
Thanks for any response to this (unfortunately rather long-winded) question.
Best,

In short… no. most places probably won’t accept you to a GOOD mba program considering you have lacking credits to apply. Also it would depend on your gpa, extra curriculars and recommendations from your current school
but don’t give up you can also check all the programs for different colleges and see their requirements for each program.
an example:
from the darden website on basic admission requirements.
alidity of Application Information
We expect that the information provided in, and for, an application will be valid and will accurately represent your qualifications for admission to the Darden School. If articles contained within the application are ascertained to contain invalid information or misrepresent your qualifications, sanctions will be taken, up to and including the revocation of the MBA degree.

GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test)
All applicants are required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). The GMAT is offered only as a computer adaptive test in the U.S. Pearson VUE administers the GMAT, and Darden’s Program Code is KC7-0X-86. We evaluate only GMAT results from tests taken prior to submission of the application. The highest score is used, but we do not combine scores from multiple tests. Scores are valid for five years. Unofficial, self-reported scores will be used for evaluation purposes. However, offers of admission are not binding until official scores are received. If discrepancies are found between self-reported and official scores, the offer of admission will be withdrawn. Return to Top
TOEFL
As much as 50% of a student’s grade at Darden depends upon active oral participation in the classroom. The University of Virginia requires demonstrated English proficiency. The recommended way to demonstrate English proficiency is to submit a TOEFL score. Ask the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to report your TOEFL score to Darden. Darden’s ETS code is 5820. The department code is 02. For more information, visit the Frequently Asked Questions webpage. Return to Top

Recommendations
We require two recommendations which address the questions asked on our Recommendation Form. Additional recommendations may be submitted, but they should offer additional and valuable insight. Generally, work-related recommendations are more valuable than academic-related recommendations. We prefer that recommenders with web access and an email address submit their recommendations electronically. After you have contacted the recommenders about providing the recommendation, complete the form on the Recommender’s page and check the “Please email this person a recommendation request” beneath each recommender you wish us to contact. They will be sent an email message with instructions and a web address to go to in order to complete your recommendation. To submit paper-based recommendations, you should download the Recommendation Form, print one copy for each recommender, and follow the directions provided on the form. Return to Top
Interviews
An evaluative interview is conducted by invitation only after your application has been submitted and reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Interviews play a critical role in our assessment of candidates and are required prior to acceptance into the program. An invitation to interview is a positive indicator no matter when you receive it. Candidates living in the U.S. must interview on the Darden Grounds with a member of the Admissions staff or Student Admissions Committee. Candidates living abroad are welcome to interview on the Darden Grounds, but are not expected to do so. International interviews are conducted by alumni or Admissions Committee members during recruiting tr
