Law School vs MBA and do schools make as much of a difference as they do in business
Post Body

Looking for some advise on which to pursue. My undergrad is Finance and I have been working in finance for 3 years, but I'm not great at math. I am good at writing/language/reading skills. I already have my GMAT done and a school I would go to (it's top 100, but not top 50). I am starting to prep for the LSAT now and looking at schools.

My question is, if I go to a decent law school (around #100 ranking), and want to do transactional corporate law, what are my vocational outlooks after school assuming I am willing to relocate? I already know what I would do with my MBA (or, attempt to do), and I'm not as familiar with the law school path. The MBA is the "safer, path of least resistance," but I feel like I would do really well in law based on my strengths and weaknesses, and I hate math (ironic for someone in finance I know). I know after my MBA and with my experience I would graduate making in the $85k-$100k bonus range. Would a JD put me in a similar range? It seems more variable with law.

Lastly, if I start prepping for the LSAT and feel like I can get a 165 , which I think I can, would going to a top 20 school make that much of a difference? (I'm in Nashville so think Belmont vs Vanderbilt). In business school, this would make a pretty huge difference unless you were just an amazing networker. Any advice is appreciated as I start diving into the LSAT and decide which route to purse!
