Are there any law schools or non-MBA grad schools that also accept the GMAT as their entrance requirement?

Hi gmat387,

You pose an interesting question, but it sounds as though you don't have a specific goal. Grad school of any type is a big task that requires a commitment of time, money and energy on your part just to complete it. The better questions to ask would be:

1) What do you want to do with a Grad degree? What career path do you want to be on?
2) What program(s) best match that path?
3) What program(s) best match your budget, location, etc?

As an aside, if you have a competitive GMAT score, then you could, with a few tweaks, take the GRE or the LSAT and earn a competitive score. These 3 tests have many common elements, so if you can beat one, then you can beat the others.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I have gotten very good scores on my GMAT, but unfortunately, have not done as well on my LSAT. I probably can improve my score, but it'd time that I do not have.

I am considering business schools mainly right now. But I want to know what my options are for other graduate programs. What doors can the GMAT open for me?

I know the Kennedy School of Government accepts gmat. Any other programs? Anyone else?

I have actually looked into this. At the top schools, it seems like they only accepted GRE to advanced degrees. Though, after looking at sample gre questions, it is way easier than the GMAT, especially if you are a "poet" type.

The math seems also easier, unless you are not good at geometry.
