Pretty rad development:
"Friday, August 30, 2019
As part of a three year pilot study beginning with the fall 2019-2020 application cycle, Berkeley Law will now allow certain applicants to be considered on the basis of a GRE or GMAT score without needing to take the LSAT.
Berkeley Law will accept the GRE and GMAT in some cases to make the process of applying to the J.D. program simpler for those interested in concurrent or combined degree programs, and for the candidates who are most likely to pursue specialized practice fields (for example, in patent law, start-up law, energy law, etc.). These are areas in which Berkeley Law excels, and our goal is to continue to attract top applicants from around the world.
“After careful examination, we determined that while the vast majority of applicants will (and should) take the LSAT, some applicants could reasonably be evaluated on the basis of alternative assessments,” said Kristin Theis-Alvarez, Asst. Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid. “Berkeley Law is a public law school with a longstanding commitment to access, to serving the public good, and to developing lawyers and leaders who will tackle our society’s most pressing and complex challenges – now and in the future. This has always meant that we seek to enroll candidates who are outside-of-the-box thinkers, and who want to build a multi-disciplinary toolkit to take forward with them into their careers. As always, our application review remains holistic. Test scores – from any source – are important, but not dispositive.”

Eligibility
Groups of eligible applicants are outlined below, along with examples:
Concurrent and Combined Degree Program Applicants
Applicants to the J.D. program concurrently applying (in the same application cycle) to another U.C. Berkeley graduate or professional degree program.
Example: Applicant A is applying to both the J.D. program and the MPP program at Goldman for fall 2021, plans to pursue a J.D./MPP, but will (if admitted to both) begin in the MPP program and defer law until fall 2022. The J.D. program will accept the applicant’s GRE score.
Applicants to the J.D. program who, at the time of application submission, are currently enrolled in another U.C. Berkeley graduate or professional degree program and who seek to begin a concurrent degree program the following fall.
Example: Applicant B is a first-year MCP student in the Department of City and Regional Planning. They are applying to the J.D. program in order to begin a concurrent J.D./MCP degree program in fall 2020. The J.D. program will accept the applicant’s GRE score.
Applicants to the J.D. program who, at the time of application submission, are currently enrolled in a degree program eligible to be combined with a J.D. from Berkeley Law, and who seek to begin that combined degree program the following fall.
Example: Applicant C is a first-year Masters of Arts student in the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. They are applying to the J.D. program in order to begin a combined J.D./M.A. degree program in fall 2020. The J.D. program will accept the applicant’s GRE score.
Note: An applicant applying to the J.D. program who simply declares an intent to pursue a combined or concurrent degree program, without either already having applied to the other program or without being enrolled in such a program, is not eligible to apply with a GRE or GMAT score.

23NN, more law schools are beginning to accept the scores for pilot programs. I spoke to Cornell about this topic earlier this year when I applied. It is truly a fascinating development. The tests, though similar, are radically different in a few ways (chief among them the quant vs. the logic games). If the schools feel this helps broaden their horizons, then I am all for it.
