<p>Their JD/MBA does NOT require the LSAT…thoughts on this?</p>

[Blaze991]

<p>Hmm. I am skeptical.</p>

<p>From Northwestern’s site:</p>

<p>

The GMAT is required. The LSAT is not required for admission to the JD-MBA program; however, candidates may choose to report their LSAT score in the Additional Information section of the essays.

</p>

<p>Just because it isn’t technically required, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s unimportant. I wonder if it is truly ‘optional’.</p>

<p>If you are certain that you want to pursue the JD/MBA, you are probably planning to apply to more than one program. Most programs do indeed require the GMAT and the LSAT for admissions, and, in fact, you apply separately to each of the programs and must gain admission separately to both in order to pursue the joint degree.</p>
