Is there anywhere else that does this? Seems a bit strange.

I only know some MBA programs that accept either/or

I'm pretty sure that the University of Arizona either does this or has said that they will implement it.

The thought of law schools accepting the GRE makes me want to throw up.

Why? The correlation of LSAT as a predictor of grades/ success is low, maybe because of mandatory curve but who knows.

Why is everyone so invested in the LSAT?

I'm just being selfish. In my opinion the GRE is a much easier test, and I would be salty for having spent all that time studying for LSAT.

You'd still have to take the LSAT for virtually every other school though, at which point H would still see your score upon applying.

It is the best correlation though. I understand pilot programs to see if the GRE might be better. But I don't like the idea of giving people Harvard degrees to test a hypothesis that may confirm "GRE score does not indicate ability to study and practice law"

What if Harvard coming out with this new "we may accept GRE" idea is just a way to distract conversation from their ranking drop?

Dun dun dunnnn

Following the Trump playbook.

I can't.

[Mr_Chukes]

They might only take people with 4.0 99℅ GRE. The GRE from what I heard is an easier test though and can be retaken a lot.

Many of my friends have taken the GRE and many graduate programs rely on it for admissions, so I won't bash the test itself. People can argue back and forth about the correlation or lack thereof between LSAT scores and LS performance, then bring the GRE and its correlation into the picture, but that isn't what bothers me personally. I feel like the LSAT is more of a stylistic type of thinking test. It challenges you to read critically in ways other tests don't. I know most exams will have a reading comp section where you have to think critically, but in my opinion the LSAT brings that attention to detail to a whole new level. I feel like I personally benefited intellectually from the time and effort I put into the LSAT and its required method of thinking, and I believe that will help me down the line, regardless of correlation to LS success. The GRE wouldn't have likely had the same effect on my thought process.

Just my two cents.

I believe you are right. That's is how I see it as well.

Yeah, but everywhere else is like, hahaha were not going to give you any money, or we're going to waitlist you, or we're going to be a 22-25 School and actually reject you. It's annoying AF. I feel like I'm being punished on merit scholly for having the background that I have. They don't want to give me anything because they think it'll be paid for regardless.
