JD/ MBA joint degree! Oh, Yaoyao really wants me ending up in school! Kidding! Actually I indeed considered the JD/ MBA joint degree, but I do not think there is any chance for me to get into a top JD program. My LAST score is poor and unfortunately the weight of LSAT score in JD admission is much heavier than that of GMAT in MBA admission. Many law schools calculate the multiple LSAT scores averagely, so once you get a low score, you will be out. Plus, I do not think JD program is that suitable for my career goal as lots of the time of JD study will spend on basic US law subjects such as Constitution, Criminal, Contract, Evidence, Torts, Trusts, Civil and Criminal procedure, etc. which differentiate from Chinese law system. And you need to stay in school for four years-really a lot of time and a huge investment!
To make a convincing argument on what I can give and why me part (I can not predict how convincing it could be as it is just my rough thoughts):
I assume most part of the learning experience in MBA is case study and group discussion. As being a lawyer, I frequently address a real problem and dilemma in real world from a feasible perspective and to assist clients to overcome the problem within legal framework. I can provide the down-to-earth and practicable thoughts when discussion and let the group discussion do not go that far. Secondly, lawyer has relatively strong reasoning and analysis ability and is accustomed to think logically. Many puzzles in the real business world should be addressed logically, if I participate, I will try to let the discussion and learning go on in order. Thirdly, I usually conduct the risk analysis and try my best to exempt clients form facing real problems and challenges in the future. When making a decision for the business matters presented in the cases, I will try to seek the best balance between the risk and opportunity and let the classmates pay attention to other aspects he or she may not think about. Last but not least, law is always related to the bottom line of the society and common sense of humankind, to stay at the bottom line and apply the common sense when facing virtually all of the circumstances and situations no matter how challenged it could be, people may make sound decision and avoid making big mistakes. I will try to stay at the bottom line and apply the common sense as possible as I can and may remind classmates some principles they may ignore.
In addition, I also have a four-year management degree and had run a family business under supervision for one year. I also had exercised my sense to grasp the business opportunity and benefit –seeking instinct. I would like to combine above-mentioned four advantages with the business sense and instinct when making contribution to the class.
The demonstration that I will be a successful alumni going down the patch of firstly practicing in financial industry and finally a good policy-maker: I have got to know many financial rules and principles and have assist clients securing many IPO, M & A, and project financing deals. If I further have first-hand experiences in relevant field, I shall have an extensive insight into the financial industry. In addition, practicing law, contact with authorities and taking part in the law drafting process allow me to think broadly and from macro-perspective, but further practice in specialized financial industry will allow me think specifically and from micro-perspective. A policy-maker shall think broadly and do not ignore the details. The most important thing is that policy-maker shall formulate the policy for the purpose of the benefit of most of the people and the well-being of the society as a whole. In the previous experience of taking part in law drafting process and volunteering in NGO, I was constantly educated to think for the public’s benefits by many great brains and have determined to dedicate to the course of better the public’s economic and financial status. If I have any contribution to formulate a good policy to save money could have been wasted and bring real benefit to most of the people especially the disadvantaged groups, I would deem myself have been successful!
