大龄非主流申请者，求定位

彭宇

各位：

本人法律专业，国内本科毕业，英国top 10法学院硕士毕业，回国后在律所短暂工作后转向in-house legal，主要方向是国内pre-ipo公司美国上市的内部法律工作，目前做到一家在美上市的公司的法律总监。感觉职业生涯有点瓶颈，同时一直想往投行发展，因此有了读MBA的想法，但是看了CD上的成功的top商学院的申请人好像很少是法律专业的，所以非常希望了解是不是我的这个背景不是top商学院的理想目标，所以烦请各位大侠帮忙分析一下，另外还想请教如果我想往投行发展，申请那些商学院是最好的。谢谢各位。

Yes my friend, happy to offer up some advice.  Each year we work with a number of folks who are making a career shift from legal into business.   The trick always seems to be to prove that you have a LEADERSHIP background.  Folks in law firms and even in-house tend to be told what to do by higher-ups.  Not muuuuch room for creativity and leadership.  You have two main challenges: first, you must SHOW all your leadership  potential.  Show that you don’t fit into this category.  Secondly, you must somehow link your experience to BUSINESS.  Why does it make SENSE for you to shift into business?  That’s the trick—if you can do these two things, and if your scores are strong etc., you should be able to crack a top-20 school this year.  Hope this helps, and good luck!
