In school JD looking to hop to business. How do I set up 2016 Summer, and 2017 post grad?

First year law student looking to pursue non-legal opportunities. I'm straight through undergrad. I have good LS grades and a light econ/finance background. I figure RE/RX is the two closest options to the legal field that might appreciate a JD.

The school I go to would be considered a semi-target for biglaw, and the undergrad is a semi-target for banks.

What should I do the next eight months to try and set myself up for Summer 2016?

I'm thinking about taking the GMAT this Summer.

 

Lots of networking. 1L summer opportunities are limited regardless of school. Obviously something finance related is ideal, but since you are a JD if you can snag a corp law SA that would help with your story.

Also, if you are serious do JD/MBA - you need access to their OCI to have a serious shot, especially since you have no work experience.

"They are all former investment bankers that were laid off in the economic collapse that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have no marketable skills, but by God they work hard."
 

Yeah we have a jd/mba option. I'm looking into that though not sure if it will be worth it since the business school doesn't bring alot of Oci recruiters beyond undergrad and I have access to the undergrads career services.

I figure I might save that bullet for three or so years after law school if I do strike out. Thankfully I'm going to law school for cheap.

 

Are you right out of undergrad? In a similar spot, considering doing dual undergraduate business degree and Law degree combined. Any thoughts on that here?
