Thanks everyone, for your input, and hilarious at nj593. My brain is beginning to hurt thinking about all this...:p
Here are some issues I have found: Firstly, if I chose the J.D. option there is a good chance I wouldn't be able to start until fall 2011. :eek: The deadline for the application is Feb 15th, and while they do accept February LSAT scores they make a point of not liking to do so. That, and my undergrad degree might not even be conferred until Feb. If I don't start until 2011, that puts me in school for 3 years and getting out at 27...I don't know how much I like the idea of not being employed again until I am nearly in my thirties.
You all make very valid points about the merits of having a J.D. though, so I am conflicted.
The MBA can be done in roughly half the time, AND I can start next fall as long as my GMAT is sufficient (I need at least 700)...decisions, decisions. Maybe I should take the GMAT now, and if I biff that I can take the LSAT which I think I am more confident about knowing that it doesn't involve math. If I score high enough on the LSAT, all that's left to do is find something to do with myself for about a year...
Just thinking out loud, since that is what this thread is for anyway.
