Chances for an future international applicant

Hey guys, I actually posted this thread starting post on college-confidential, found this forum just now, nevertheless. I would like to her your advices, please.

"Here some biographical facts about me.

Currently, I am in my first semester at an high-ranked and renowned Law School in Germany. It is going very well so far. Nevertheless, I am considering my future prospects, on the other hand. I intend to focus on corporate and commercial law hoping to gain profound knowledge in the field of law and business. Ultimately, I am aiming at working for a major law firm.

This was actually the way it should go before my father throw another idea onto the table. He founded a company specializing in road building and civil underground engineering four years ago, having exceeded the point of 1 million euros as the annual total revenue for the first time. He is considering me to accept his inheritance later, when I finish law education. As I am interested both in business and in law respectively in the collision and interdependences of those two fields, I would feel amazed to be in charge of the company as a manager. Consequently, I was thinking of pursuing a MBA degree in the US after my law education, ideally at Harvard, Stanford or Columbia Business School.

  1. My first question: Which are the general requirements for getting accepted to one of these programs (grades,GMAT)? Is having a law background rather untypical? 2.. Could it help if I am already having a management position by the time of applying?
  2. I was also thinking of a LLM programm, particularly at one of these schools. Are there any programs enabling you to acquire both a MBA and a LLM?

I am thanking you in advance."

Good questions!

  1. Main requirements are that you have to have an Undergraduate degree, a GMAT score, a TOEFL score and a few years work experience. In order for you to get in those schools you mentioned, a GPA of 3.7 or more (In US Terms) a 700 or more on the GMAT, and a 109+ on the TOEFL is recommended. Plus at least 2 years of work experience, but better three or four.

  2. Yes! Very much. Especially if you are already in some leadership position in your father's firm.

  3. LLM and MBA is not all that common (although it does exist). MBA/JD is more common, and the most famous/prestigious would be: Chicago/Yale/Harvard/Stanford/Columbia/Northwestern/U of P/NYU (more or less)
