I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I was under the impression that the LSAT is the gold standard for Law School Admissions and while schools will not outright say this - the GRE is viewed less favorably since it's (somewhat) easier.
Anyway, I posted a screenshot on snapchat of a practice test I took yesterday (I got a 171) and this guy I know messages me telling me:
Test centers are closed AND
I should take the GRE instead.
I inform him about the remote proctored version. Before I can mention that the LSAT is a harder exam he goes on about how the law schools prefer the GRE...
He then asked me what my score was - even though he was responding to a post of my score - and recommended I apply to schools (that are not even T50)
I find it funny when people act like this and just thought I would share.

Wow, I actually never knew that people would view the GRE that highly lol. I thought the typical GRE taker was someone who was taking that test for business school, does very well and then makes a last minute piviot to wanting to be a lawyer and is excited to discover the GRE could be used for some schools in place of the LSAT. I never considered someone would actually think that that the LAW school admissions test would be secondary to GRE. I followed some of the admissions posts on Reddit this cycle and learned a little more about the GRE. The GRE doesn't apply to US News and World report rankings so it really doesn't help schools. If you have a great GRE score and an excellent GPA than I think you might be okay but if you don't have that GPA, top schools will be passing you over as you aren't helping their medians/numbers at all.
Lolol gave me a good laugh
Lmao bro I had one guy say that studying for the LSAT will LOWER your score. People are idiots
I've had some very smart people give me some really bad advice about LSAT studying and applying for schools. Take it with a grain of salt and stay on the path to success!
