Hello everyone. I attended the University of Minnesota, received my M.S in clinical psychology with an MD track. When I finished, I was accepted to Northwestern Law School, and I later received my dual PhD/MD/JD degree. Due to the programs focus in medical and legal ethics, in addition to submitting the LSAT scores, Northwestern also required GRE scores. In my opinion if the law school you are attending accepts dual entrance exams, you will be better off taking the GRE tests, if your scores are high, they will increase your chances of being admitted with a higher standing than the students who only completed the LSAT. In this case the undergraduate GPA and graduate GPA were not as crucial, the focus was mainly on the entrance exams.
