Good! Not sure what purpose they served in the first place except to enrich test prep providers? Anyone with a Bachelors can go to law school, plenty of room at non ABA schools. Next let's get rid of the ABA stranglehold on law schools, it serves no real purpose. The bar exam is real determinant of whether a law student is competent or not.

Good riddance if they do. I think studies show that undergraduate GPA (or upward trends in GPA) is a better predictor for grad school success.

Some schools don't take the GRE or the GMAT anymore either, it all depends. More traditional schools like to keep their current policies untouched, the newer/younger ones - institutions who aren't opposed to changes, may be alright with slight modifications to their requirements to entrance.

I would love to see how this goes. I do amazing in school got plenty of degrees with amazing GPAs but the Lsat is terrible. I have taken it twice and didn’t like my results. I believe it’s an exam that’s a waste of time which does not determine a students success in law school. Any material can be taught and learned. I believe it is used as a deterrent to place a glass ceiling between people.
