*Some law schools will also accept the GRE or GMAT.
Consider the following when selecting which test to take:
- All law schools accept the LSAT.
- Not all law schools accept the GRE. Confirm on each law school’s website.
- A select few law schools accept the GMAT.
- If you plan to attempt a dual degree, the GRE might satisfy the entrance requirements for the law school and the other program you plan to apply to.
- If you are still considering law school or other graduate programs, the GRE might be a better fit.
- Law schools automatically see any LSAT attempt when you apply and will use that score even if you submit a GRE score.
