LSATs and GRE??

[Colblack]

I didn't always want to become a lawyer, but now I find myself searching for the best law colleges in the country, and about LSATs. I am completely in awe of LSATs. Last year, my dad was trapped by his associates in a false lawsuit, and we had to hire a defence attorney. It was a rigid situation, and even though my dad was freed of all charges, he had to spend a while behind bars. The criminal defence lawyers from Milton were great, and seeing them work, I knew I had to do this! So, if it isn't too much trouble, I would like to know about the kind of LSAT score that would get me into a top law school in the country. Are GRE scores taken into account while shortlisting? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Colblack,

The best law schools in the country are looking for scores starting at 165 and into the 170s. the true top of the list, Harvard, Yale, and Standford, wants scores in the 170s. And the higher you score, the better your offers

The GRE and LSAT are basically fully separate as far as admissions, with the LSAT having priority:

• If you have an LSAT score and no GRE, they use the LSAT.
  If you have an GRE score and no LSAT, some schools will use the GRE; other schools don't take it and you'd be out of luck.
  
  If you have an LSAT score and a GRE score, they use the LSAT. LSAT cancels your GRE if an LSAT score is present!

Thanks!
