You don’t know this at all. Once you’re above a certain threshold, admission at Ivy-caliber schools is highly holistic. Students with perfect stats are routinely rejected. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Don’t reapply; go to one of the fine institutions that has already accepted you. Congratulations.

<p>Yes, of course, I am not saying that anything is guaranteed. However, it does give me a decent chance.</p>

Why do you want to get an MBA in the US? What do you want to do with it? The thing is that in the US, law is a graduate degree; also, law degrees are not as transferable as others because different countries have very different legal systems. I would think that business as a general discipline would be more internationally flexible. Why study law in the UK if you don’t want to live in the UK and practice? That would be my question.

<p>I would like to pursue an MBA in the US after getting an undergraduate degree and some work experience because I want to work in an area related to Management at the top level. The USA offers the best MBA programs, which is my target.</p>

<p>I agree that law degrees are not as flexible, and that is one of the reasons why I am considering reapplying to the US for Business. I want to study law in the UK because it is a strong and well-regarded area that I enjoy, I do not intend to become a lawyer and practice in the UK.</p>

<p>Do you think having a law degree from the UK would put me at a disadvantage as opposed to Business in the US? (for management related positions and MBA applications in the US)</p>
