Although I don't know much about how their JD/MBA is viewed, my take on USC's MBA is that it is completely worthless. If you want IB/PE/VC, USC will not get you there, plain and simple. Emory sends some of their MBAs into IB (my guess would be 5-10%). Going to Emory will give you a fighting chance, USC will not. Also, if you don't want to be a lawyer, why not just drop out of law school and do just the MBA instead? Just my .02
Just to clarify, my answer would be yes, but I would avoid doing the JD/MBA and just do the MBA.
If you aren't interested in being a lawyer why get the JD?
Emory>USC
So, the reason I am doing the JD/MBA is because I have already started a JD. I think it would show a bit of irrationality not to finish that, then go work, and then try an MBA. So, I am transferring to Emory as 2L, and I am really hoping i get in their MBA program. Thanks for the comments though. This is pretty in line with what I thought. Don't think I would have much of any chance getting into finance with an SC IMBA even though it's number one. I don't know how much to trust that ranking because other schools may not pursue it as aggressively, etc.

I was reviewing a company 2 days ago started by someone from an M7 with a JD/MBA Combo from a Semi Target. On his team he had someone from a very, very, very, low not even State School Business Program. I don't know what the kid said to get the position, but it worked. Either way this whole you can't get into IB from here or there only matters if you believe it. I know a Top 50 State School Grad who started his own Hedge Fund Shop 50 years ago and his son runs it for him now. If you can get a FREE joint degree from SC and you don't take it, I don't think you should be in IB. Free is Free, there is no downside to free. Trust me you can get in because Darla Moore did it. Everyone won't. But I don't believe a JD/MBA combo can't get you an interview. Bull! I have a friend from that program who was top VP and he passed through a Top Boutique before hitting EVP at 2 fortune 100's. People don't know what they don't know.
