Dual Enrolling? What??
Accepted at Sloan for MBA. Accepted at Yale law school. I want to do both. Am I allowed to enroll in both at the same time? I plan on spending half the semester in Boston, the other half in CT. I am willing to take the attendance/participation grade hits if such a thing exists. And please don't tell me to find a school where I can do the JD/MBA. These are the only schools that worked out for each field. MIT does not have a law school and I will not go to that god forsaken mgmt school that yale poops out.
Thanks.
Oh, and money is not an issue. Obviously.
Not sure why you're asking this forum ... talk to each of the programs so see if they will accept an ad hoc dual-degree program (most do these days)
Also people don't really say that Yale law was the only thing that worked out in that field - what the hell else could you have been shooting for? Heads and tails the most selective institution - if you we're really accepted there don't waste your time at Sloan.
In at Yale b/c of legacy. 171, 3.7. Dinged at Harvard, Stanford, Columbia law
I really do hate to sidetrack here, but can you answer this quick q - Are you considered a legacy only if your parent(s) graduated from the same college in that university (specifically undergrad/mba/law ...), or does just having an alumnus as a parent qualify you as a legacy for all purposes?
Impressive. But I doubt it. I would go with Yale Law. And I would probably also go with Yale SOM. (Everyone says MBA programs are signaling mechanisms and with Yale Law you're already sending a strong enough signal!)
I fear Yale SOM will be a brown stain on my resume that I will never be able to get off.

Well you should definitely pick yale law. its an incredibly impressive credential. and yale offers an "accelerated jd/mba" in 3 years vs. yale law alone will take 3 years anyway.
maybe SOM won't add much to your educational prestige (for lack of a better word) but it definitely won't decrease it either. "mgmt school that yale poops out." and "brown stain" is a bit much isn't it? :)
I agree, but I think his decision should be driven by what he wants to do post-grad. If you want to go into business, banking, etc. the MBA will help you and will signal that you've have the requisite finance, accounting courses, etc. If you don't care about money, the dual degree at yale (which is more expensive even though it takes the same amount of time as a law degree) is a great option. The prestige between YLS and SOM is barbelled, but it's not much different from NYU's or Columbia's difference in law school-business school. Chances are, you'll find law school a lot more challenging and academic than just about any business school. However, business schools are better at placing students in finance careers - law school career services departments are focused on clerkships, firms, non-profits, academia, etc. If you think you want to practice law, don't waste time getting an MBA (you could always take classes at the business school or any other school, for that matter).
ALso agree that brown stain and poop references are hugely overstated. Sure, Yale SOM is not as prestigious as Yale Law, but no one outside message boards gives a sh*t where you went to school if it's reasonably good.
There is no way they are going to let you miss half the year while enrolled at both of the places. Attendance/participation is most of the grade for mba, so they would fail you in all your classes.
Take Yale law - it's much better and should be fine for business even w/o an mba.
