Where should I go next fall? / Geographical importance of JD/MBA program for someone interested in biotech IP?
« on: January 23, 2006, 02:38:23 AM »
Hey all, this is my first post. I really enjoy this site. So here's the deal....I am a graduate student at the University of Washington, working on my Ph.D. in biomedical research. I plan to defend in Spring '07, and will be applying to JD/MBA programs this fall. I plan to take the LSAT/GMAT this spring and don't anticipate any problems...I only intend to apply to/attend schools with consensus ~Top 12 law and business schools. That narrows down the list quite a bit, pretty much to:
Berkeley
Stanford
UCLA
Yale
Chicago
Northwestern
Harvard
Michigan
Columbia
Cornell
Duke
UVa
maybe Texas
My question is, as someone interested in biotech-related IP law (among other things, obviously), would I pretty much be at a competitive disadvantage by going anywhere other than Stanford or Berkeley, where one can pretty much immerse oneself in this specialized field? I'm hoping with my doctorate, and the JD/MBA, I can pretty much write my own ticket, regardless of the geography of my next graduate institution (assuming it's a great one). I welcome your thoughts and comments. Thanks!
