GMAT750蛮高，很多学校应该可以要到奖学金了！（PS：考过LSAT的人，考GMAT轻松很多！）
不过LZ在康村的GPA2.8是什么情况，康村教授都这么狠吗？？？

没有身份，18w是浮云。西北JD的就业率，是靠自家图书馆的工作抬上去的。MBA路会宽些，进企业进咨询都行。没准还能进投行。楼主可以去chasedream问问。可以考虑JD/MBA双学位。

JD的话，有两年的项目，针对有LLM学位的学生设计的。楼主可以考虑。

I heard that JD/MBA from NW may get good offers from Wall Street firms like hedge fund management. The pay was reported to be more than half a million annually within 3 years. Of course, most hires are for Americans.

Since you have great GMAT scores, you may consider that option. Talk to NW admission office and get more info about the joint program. Good luck.

One thing I do not know is that: you already have NY bar under your belt. Why do you want a JD degree (and spend three years of your time)? AO may have the same question for you. :)

Finally, there is no guarantee that once you are in the JD/MBA program, you will have a permanent job after your graduation. How to calculate ROI or risks involved is up to you.

太谢谢你的信息！我只是从商学院毕业生数据上看到平均13w，看起来不如法学院多，还不知道3年内增长这么大。我考完bar还要读书只是纯粹想回美国去工作，当时llm毕业就直接回国了，现在又不想留在国内了。之前也考虑过双学位项目，但主要费用已经接近两个项目的总和，而且读双学位项目的美国人几乎都是business-related working experience来的，不像我只有内资律所经验，所以毕业去投行的机会肯定都是他们也轮不到我，而且你说得很对，身份问题确实会成为毕业就业的劣势。即使是双学位，我最后可能还是要回到律师行业来，所以我就想申JD。但是gpa那么低，不知道能申到什么学校

LLM is a graduate program, not undergraduate program. Most JD admission offices care more about GPA in undergraduate program than in graduate program.

Your LSAT is good enough for lower T14. Essay part may need some work. Try ED one of the T14 your like and get some scholarship money.

记得NW的JD/MBA项目只需要GMAT成绩？

哈哈哈哈哈哈哈笑哭
我金融圈朋友说big law今年加到18w可能因为为了和IBD的工资+bonus持平？

想请教前辈几个问题，和自己从美国读JD朋友那里听到的信息比对下。自己也准备申请JD
1， 西北大学的就业率是靠自家图书馆的工作抬上去的。 请问你指的是最终整体的就业率吗？西北大学的Big Law和Clerkship的就业率和报出来的没有出入吧？
2. 没有身份，18W是浮云。这是没有绿卡，律所根本就不会sponsor visa给你的意思吗？我读Cornell JD的朋友在纽约开始上班了，也没有绿卡？ 想问你具体说的是什么意思？
3. 如果我读完JD 想回伦敦或者香港新加坡工作呢？机会和在留美国比，哪个大？
4. T7-T14, 前辈可以推荐学校吗？ 如果能有个排序，就太谢谢了！
麻烦前辈了！

2) No. IMHO, if you do not have Green Card/citizenship, a job offer from a law firm might not help you to obtain an employment-based Green Card. However, if you are lucky to win the H-1B lottery, you can work in a U.S. law firm for 3-6 years.

Hi, could you say more about why is it hard for JD to get employment-based green card? are most JDs forced to be sent back to HK/Mainland after even 5/6 years of work in the US, is that what you're saying?

1) An employment-base green card normally requires the proof that the H-1B holder is better than any U.S. citizen to hold his/her job. This is probably true for a scientist or software engineer. But it is rarely true for an attorney since  the U.S. produces a glut of attorneys every year, half of which are unemployed.

2) President Trump is reforming the U.S. immigration system. He proclaims to protect the U.S. jobs for U.S. citizens, not foreigners. H-1B visas may become harder to come by in future years.

3) OPT training program may be eliminated since Trump or his supporters once commented that the OPT program is a fraud for foreign students to illegally competing against U.S. citizens (graduating students).

4) Most associates will jump ship before staying 3-5 years at the same law firm. As to an H-1B holder, that is not a problem as long as their next employer also support his/her H-1B visa application. It would be a problem if the H-1B visa holder is asked to leave the law firm but cannot find another employer who supports H-1B visas.

5) I have limited knowledge of the transferring to HK/Mainland offices incidents for visa issues.
