<p>“from what I gathered from a few management consultants a JD seems to be sort after for certain analytical, logical and social structure skills that law students possess.”</p>
<p>JDs from top schools do quite well in the consulting job market, but they don’t have any advantage I’m aware of compared to graduates of equivalently ranked business schools. If you have a ~2.5 undergrad GPA, it’s very unlikely that you’ll get into law schools as good as the B-schools you have a shot at with that GMAT and your work experience.</p>
