    I know that there are several people on 7sage who want to pursue JD and MBA degrees simultaneously.

    Why are you interested in getting a JD and a Masters at the same time?

    It's called dual degrees, FYI.

    I want to do a dual JD/MSFS (masters in foreign service). Hello other dual-degree peeps!

    @"Marie Avery" Did you have a specific question about the application process or something else?

    Looked into and spoke to advisers for MSW/ JD in Canada. ( Personal experience).

    -For me it came down to cost and time , the benefits of the masters needs to outweigh certain factors ( job market vs cost vs time vs value of the type of masters degree itself) .

    If you have the time and money it wouldn't be bad thing to consider ; many people decide law isn't for them after finishing law school/ becoming a lawyer and the second degree would come into handy then- It all depends on what your career pathway is like.

    I also asked for stats on the program ( less people apply in general , but they don't take that many people so it is still very competitive)

    @teamteamvicster Yes, I'm interested to find out how people prepare for the application of the second degree. As far as getting into law school, its pretty straight forward: practice (with 7sage) for the LSAT and get all the other components (personal, letters etc.) together and apply. My grades from undergrad are what they are and I work in a law firm, taking the LSAT is basically the only area of focus for me at this point. But I'm wondering if anyone focuses on building up their softs for a separate application, if the masters program doesn't care about your LSAT score then should I put more energy into working in the field that I want to major in (Policy)?
