Is there an advantage to taking the LSAT? My understanding is that the GRE is more like the SAT (but harder). If the schools like them equally, I'd say you might as well stick with the devil you know. But is failing to take the LSAT a signal of some sort?
Schools do not like them equally. LSAT is accepted everywhere, GRE only at some schools. Conventional wisdom is GRE works if you have a super high GPA and something else special. Otherwise, take the LSAT.
