Does anyone have any thought on JD/MBA programs? I really like Kellogg’s shorter 3 year program vs a full four at HBS or some of the other schools but wanted to see if anyone else was in the same boat.

My undergrad degree is in gov but I currently working on consulting for PE right now, with dream goal to end up in VC or PE post-MBA. Practice tests have gone well for both GRE & LSAT but lower GPA from a public Ivy, so not sure what’s feasible.

Why do you need a JD to do VC or PE?

I feel like doing the dual degree for no reason will just worsen your bschool experience with not a ton of benefit.

Hi Fishes, I took up a course on data science with python from a local institute. But that was not effective. I would like to take up one more course from a good platform. Checked out simplilearn, learnbay and scaler. Thought of joining simplilearn. But I am wondering whether online reviews are paid ones. Because I read such a review for learnbay platform. Please guide if anyone had taken course from simplilearn.

Thankyou so much for the help and guidance!
