Answer:

Certain law schools accept but do not require the LSAT because they also accept alternatives in its place; some examples of such law schools include the following:

  • Yale Law School.
  • Cornell Law School.
  • Harvard Law School.
  • Notre Dame Law School.
  • University of Chicago Law School.
  • Georgetown University Law Center.
  • New York University School of Law.
  • Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.
  • University of California-Los Angeles School of Law.
  • University of Southern California Gould School of Law.

In place of the LSAT, these law schools will accept the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). Where the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is, as its name implies, a specialized law school entrance exam, the GRE is a more generalized graduate school entrance exam. According to US News and World Report, schools that accept the GRE in place of the LSAT aim to attract graduate students and recent holders of graduate degrees. Accepting the GRE as an alternative to the LSAT saves these students time and money which they would otherwise have to spend booking and preparing for another test. Furthermore, this option saves students the unnecessary stress of balancing LSAT preparation with academic performance during graduate studies.
