Why are LSATs so important for law schools rather than the SATs were for undergrads?

Answer 1

The leading law schools designed the LSAT to meet their needs to adjust for the differences in GPA among different colleges. The SAT has not been designed to be as responsive to the needs of admissions offices. In addition, the SAT has not been very predictive of college performance. Law school curricula are more similar than different, reflecting the need to prepare for the bar, enabling the LSAT to be better fitted to predicting law school performance than any college entrance exam could be given the wide variety of majors available in colleges. .
