Do LSAT scores matter after entering law school?

Post by TubaStL » Sat Jun 29, 2019 3:32 pm

Hello. I've been admitted to a law school without an LSAT score (or any test score, for that matter) through a special program that allows me to enter my undergraduate institution's law school. Assuming I don't transfer and am satisfied at that school, will I ever be at a disadvantage without any test scores? Will I get asked about the LSAT during job interviews?

Nope. Outside of applying to law schools I don't recall ever being asked my LSAT score by anyone, ever.

Not in the slightest. Nor should you ever bring them up, except perhaps to agree with someone else who says "wow, the LSAT sucked, I'm glad that's over."

Yeah, I was going to mention this. Thankfully I think it's a pretty small number. And in any case saying you don't have one would be better than having to admit to a bad one (like mine!).

At least as of about ten years ago, some of the big consulting firms (cant remember BCG or McKinsey maybe) asked for standardized test scores (they were looking for GMAT primarily, but I remember giving them my LSAT)

While this is definitely true 99% of the time I did have a biglaw firm request LSATs in their SA online application which is completely ridiculous! Was an optional field but still....
