The American Bar Association may throw out law schools' requirements that students take LSAT and other standardized admissions tests.
An ABA panel will make its final decision on Friday after a committee recommended the testing requirements be scrapped because they hurt diversity in admissions.
The LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, estimates a prospective students reasoning and memorizing comprehension, and it serves as a predictor on how they will fair in classes.
The ABA's move comes as Yale and Harvard withdrew from US News & World Report's law school ranking system, criticizing its heavily reliance on LSAT and GRE testing scores that they argued hurts low-income applicants.
The woke law schools argued that many lower scorers on the LSAT can't afford test prep courses and guides, and schools that admit the poor test takers are penalized by ranking lower on the prestigious US News list.
However, proponents of the tests fear that dropping the exams altogether may not actually help promote diversity but instead benefit wealthy applicants.
Regardless of how the ABA panel votes, half of 82 law schools in the US recently polled by Kaplan Testing, said they would keep the tests, with only four saying they would scrap them.
© Provided by Daily Mail The American Bar Association will decide on Friday whether to scrap law schools' requirements that students take LSAT and other standardized admissions tests. Regardless of how the ABA panel votes, 41 of 82 law schools in the US recently polled by Kaplan Testing, said they would keep the tests
Kaplan, which has a financial interest in school requiring the tests as they offer prep courses and guides, said 37 of the 82 schools polled did not know what they would do if the ABA drops the testing requirements.
The respondent pool included 12 of the top 25 law schools as ranked by U.S. News & World Report, according to Kaplan, which did not identify respondents' answers by school name.
Jeff Thomas, Kaplan's executive director of legal programs, said that with half the schools keeping the requirement no matter what and nearly half unsure of what to do, the ABA's decision could amount to little.
'Irrespective of how this vote goes on Friday, it doesn't necessarily mean that anything in admissions is actually going to change,' he said.
The Law School Admissions Council, which administers the LSAT, warned the ABA that dropping the test admission may not tackle diversity problems, and could ultimately create even more advantages for wealthy applicants.
Kristen Theis-Alvarez, assistant dean of admissions and financial aid at University of California, Berkeley School of Law, echoed these concerns.
'We believe that removal of the testing requirement could actually increase the very disparities proponents seek to reduce by increasing the influence of bias in the review process,' she wrote in a submission along with dozens of university officials.
The Berkley School of Law's opposition to getting rid of the test is notable as it joined Harvard and Yale in withdrawing for the US News ranking list.

The highly influential list ranks the best law schools in the nation, and is often used by prospective students and parents when determining which colleges to apply to.
The list can also influence students' chances when applying for jobs, graduate school and PHD programs, as those who come from the best schools appear as the most desired candidates.
Yale, which has dominated the list at first place since 1990, called it 'flawed' because it allegedly puts the most weight on scholarships for high test scores.
Woke school dean Heather Gerken argued that the system incentivizes schools to supply aid to those who get high scores rather than for the low-income applicants who need it more.
Gerken said the current list devalues programs aimed at providing aid for low-income students and programs that encourage low-paying public interest jobs.
'The U.S. News rankings are profoundly flawed,' Gerken said in a statement. 'They disincentivize programs that support public interest careers, champion need-based aid, and welcome working-class students into the profession.
'Its approach not only fails to advance the legal profession, but stands squarely in the way of progress.'
With about 20 percent of the overall ranking score based on median LSAT or GRE test scores and grad-point averages, Gerken said the ranking hurts school that admit students who couldn't afford the test-prep courses and scored lower points.

Read moreIn 2015, UMass Lowell was the first public school in New England to go test optional. Our No Test Option is available to students applying now.
It’s better for students. Standardized tests can provide a useful snapshot, but they are just one indicator of a student’s potential. The outcome of one test shouldn’t disqualify a great student from studying here.
Not even a little. UMass Lowell will continue to increase selectivity as we grow. We want to enroll the best students, and the No Test Option is in line with that philosophy.
We cannot supply a one-size-fits-all answer here. Choose the option that best reflects you. If you aren’t sure, ask your college counselor for advice.
Applicants who scored a 1120 or higher on the SAT or 23 or higher on the ACT are good candidates to submit test scores as part of the application process.
Applicants applying under the No Test Option should have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and evidence of outstanding academic success throughout high school.
Applicants with a 3.0 GPA or better, with SAT or ACT scores below our suggested minimum scores are strongly encouraged to consider applying as a No Test applicant.
Just choose the No Test Option on your application.
Students can complete a form in their applicant portal to request to change to the No-Test Option. Requests to change from a test submitting student to the No Test Option must be made prior to notification of an admission decision.
Our admissions committee would like to offer you an opportunity to support your No Test Option application by submitting an additional 250-550 word essay that offers insights into your personal experience and background. Although an additional essay is not required, we would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about you and your potential contributions to the university. You may choose one of the following options:
- Education happens inside and outside the classroom. Describe how an activity or community you are involved in (a workplace, a community-based organization, a church group, etc.) has helped shape your character.
- Describe an instance in your academic career where you have successfully engaged with support services to make a meaningful difference in your life.
- What specific characteristics make a leader effective? Please share with us how you are a leader in your home, school or community.
- What is it about UMass Lowell that compelled you to apply for admission and how do you see yourself being a contributing member to our campus community?
- Describe your experience, motivation, or character traits that will allow you to be a successful student at UMass Lowell.
Yes. Students will be automatically considered for a scholarship when reviewed for admission.
Most applicants can, but test scores are required for some home-schooled and international applicants.
Home-school applicants with a minimum of 12 transferrable college credits are eligible to participate in No Test. Please visit our Transfer Dictionary for information on transferrable credits. Home-school applicants applying for fall 2021 admission with less than 12 transferrable college credits may appeal the test score requirement. These applications will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
International first-year applicants: You may use the No Test option and waive the SAT or ACT and English proficiency exams (TOEFL, Duolingo, IELTS, Pearson Versant) if your secondary school provides written verification that the means of instruction is in English, you are enrolled in an IB curriculum, attend an international American School, or are enrolled in a curriculum that leads to Cambridge International Examinations: IGCSE/O-Level and GCE/A level exam.
Yes, however, students must submit an English proficiency test (TOEFL, Duolingo, IELTS, Pearson Versant or UMass Lowell English Proficiency Test) test to demonstrate English proficiency before being considered for admission as a No Test applicant.
Whether a student chooses to send scores or not, our decision process will be similar. We focus on academic achievement, rigor of high school coursework, and what we know about your personal qualities. We will make a decision based on your whole application.
Yes.
Technically, yes. Transfer counselors will work directly with applicants who fall into this category. Please contact Transfer Admissions by email at: transfer@uml.edu.
Admission for nursing is uniquely competitive, however we do accept No Test applications to our nursing program.
Given the competitive reality of nursing admission, we need to manage our application pool for nursing differently than the general application pool. One of the ways we do this is by requiring nursing applicants to apply by the January 5 Early Action II deadline.
Another way we manage this application pool is by elevating the criteria for admission based on the strength of the application pool and based on our enrollment goals. Because those variables change from year to year, we cannot provide a specific minimum threshold for GPA for consideration for nursing, but we can say that the suggested minimum of a 3.0 is likely to be significantly less than the real GPA we will be able to consider for nursing. In prior years, a 3.5-3.75 has been a realistic range for minimum consideration as a No Test applicant. Nursing students can use this range as a reasonable expectation to help decide if applying No Test is right for you.
(Reuters) - A new survey suggests that a significant number of law schools will continue to use the Law School Admission Test even if the American Bar Association, which accredits them, no longer requires it.
Half of the 82 law school admissions offices surveyed by test prep company Kaplan Inc this fall said they are either “very likely” or “somewhat” likely to continue requiring a standardized admissions test even if the ABA drops its testing mandate, according to the survey released Tuesday. Kaplan provides LSAT prep courses and has a financial interest in schools continuing to require the test.
The ABA’s Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar is slated to vote on eliminating the admission test requirement Friday.
Four schools told Kaplan they are “very likely” or “somewhat likely” to stop requiring applicants to take an admissions test if the mandate is dropped, while 37 said they did not know what they would do.
The respondent pool included 12 of the top 25 law schools as ranked by U.S. News & World Report, according to Kaplan, which did not identify respondents' answers by school name.
“Irrespective of how this vote goes on Friday, it doesn’t necessarily mean that anything in admissions is actually going to change,” said Jeff Thomas, Kaplan’s executive director of legal programs.
Medical schools aren't required by their accreditor to use the Medical College Admission Test, Thomas noted, yet nearly all do.
The Law School Admission Council, which makes the LSAT, has long argued that its test plays a consumer protection function by signaling to prospective lawyers whether they are likely to be able to handle the rigors of law school.
Proponents of eliminating the admission test requirement say law schools should have more flexibility in how they admit students.
Race has also emerged as a focus in the debate, with some calling the LSAT a barrier to entry that favors whites, and others arguing that the standardized test helps level the playing field for minority applicants.

Proposal to axe LSAT requirement spurs debate over test’s effects on diversity
Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
The American Bar Association voted to drop the LSAT and other standardized tests as requirements for law school admissions.
An ABA panel made its decision on Friday after noon after a committee recommended the testing requirements be scrapped because they hurt diversity in admissions.
The LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, estimates a prospective students reasoning and memorizing comprehension, and it serves as a predictor on how they will fair in classes.
The ABA's ruling will take effect in the fall 2025 semester, after a final determination from the association's Hose of Delegates in February.
Despite its ruling, individual law schools are still free to require an admissions test.
The ABA's move comes as Yale and Harvard withdrew from US News & World Report's law school ranking system, criticizing its heavily reliance on LSAT and GRE testing scores that they argued hurts low-income applicants.

Regardless of how the ABA panel votes, 41 of 82 law schools in the US recently polled by Kaplan Testing said they would keep the tests
ABA’s House of Delegates has two opportunities to reject any proposed changes to the law school accreditation standards before they become final, meaning that the legal education council would have the final say.
The House of Delegates thwarted the same rule change in 2018. The council approved removing the testing requirement but withdrew it just moments before it was to be considered for final approval by the House of Delegates.
