TLDR: The bar isn't a great indicator of a lawyer's effectiveness already and many lawyers are asking for a change. This is an attempt at doing that.
I'm personally still super nervous about it but I also get that things do change as we learn more and I'm not married to the bar specifically. It is just risky but it's not about lowering standards.
Kinda my point. IDK if doing that for GRE is right/wrong for graduate school success but I also acknowledge that it COULD be and trust that authorities in that space can make those calls better than I can. I see some colleges that dropped ACT/SAT are bringing them back so maybe it's not a good idea but we don't HAVE to have a standardized test as the only metric.
I come from a place where all universities and colleges care about are your top 6 classes from grade 12. No letter writing, no extra-curriculars. Reading about how it is done in the US and many other places has always baffled me.
