  18.  I completed my MBA before I applied to law schools, and from the info.
  19.  I gathered a masters degree does not make alot of difference.  Law
  20.  schools seem to look primarily at undergrad GPA and LSAT score rather
  21.  than graduate school work.  However, it does depend on where you apply.
  22.  Schools that look at subjective criteria may weigh your MA more
  23.  heavily than schools that only look at the numbers.  Loyola Chicago
  24.  seems to weigh the numbers very heavily.
