“I’ve been a long-time fan of LST, but I was disappointed by episode 246, “Influence of the LSAT on the Law School Admission Process (with Shirag Shemmassian).” The host and the guest seemed to imply that someone could take both the LSAT and the GRE and then pick which score to send to law schools. This is NOT TRUE. Once you take the LSAT once, you are required to submit that and schools are required to report it. It happens automatically through the LSAC. You can still send in the GRE, but it will hold less weight. Likewise, if you’ve taken the GRE, some schools (NYU, for example) will require you to send it in, even if you’d prefer that they only consider the LSAT.
The guest seemed to be completely unaware of these policies, which made me doubt his expertise and, by extension, the expertise of the Law School Toolbox team. It looks like the guest works mostly with college and medical school applicants. I’m not sure why he was featured here. I hope the hosts will rectify or clarify this on the show.”
