Harvard Law to accept GRE scores for admission

The Boston Globe reports:

Harvard Law School announced Wednesday that it will allow applicants to submit the Graduate Record Examination in place of the Law School Admissions Tests traditionally used to evaluate candidates for admissions.

Starting this fall, applicants for a three-year law degree may submit scores from either examination, the school said in a press release.

Jessica Soban, the law school’s associate dean for admissions and strategic initiatives, said the shift reflects changes in who attends the Ivy League institution.

Increasingly, Harvard Law students come from abroad, have work experience or a graduate degree, or bring highly desirable training in science and technology related fields, she said.

Drip, drip, drip. Harvard , in the name of equality, waters down standards.
