However, it’s beginning to be forced to change with the times in the face of some significant challenges. The number of [LSATs administered annually](https://www.lsac.org/lsacresources/data/lsac-eoy) has declined by more than a third this decade from 170,000+ at the end of the 2009-10 testing year to fewer than 110,000 during the 2016-17 testing year. Then came the news that, beginning with applications submitted in the fall of 2017, [Harvard Law will accept the GRE](https://today.law.harvard.edu/gre/) as an acceptable alternative to the LSAT for incoming applicants.

This is undoubtedly excellent news for test takers who will obviously appreciate the added scheduling flexibility. However, there is an even bigger benefit for prospective law students looking to improve upon a previous score – beginning with the September 2016 exam there will no longer be any limit on the number of LSATs a test taker can record over a two-year period. The Law School Admission Council has announced these changes as part of an ongoing effort to reduce the barriers to entry into law school.

This is because law school admissions officers harbor a healthy dose of skepticism that such applicants have seriously reflected on why they want to attend law school and if it is indeed the right move to make rather than a seemingly safe, default next step. If your [personal statement for law school](https://blog.ingeniusprep.com/law-school-personal-statements-3-dos-and-donts/) sounds exactly like your college personal statement and doesn’t paint a clear and compelling picture of why you want to go to law school, you’re going to be in a tough position. ### Follow the blog
