Columbia Law School will join six other law schools, including Harvard and Georgetown University, in accepting the Graduate Record Exam for admission as an alternative to the LSAT.

Columbia announced Tuesday that it will accept the GRE scores from applicants to its three-year J.D. program beginning on a trial basis in fall 2018.

Harvard Law School in March became the second law school that said it would accept the GRE for admission. Last year, the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law was the first American Bar Association-accredited school to announce it would accept the GRE as an alternative to the LSAT.
