<p>While the calculator may need some work, chunkphat has the right idea in saying $800 is well worth a few points on the lsat. </p>
<p>Also.. when you see a school's "class statitistics" for gpa and lsat they are for the entering class that year, not ALL accepted. </p>
<p>For example: On the berkeley law website it provides the following info on Berkeley's law school applicants.</p>
<p>Berkeley's law school is ranked 13 and the average gapa and lsat OF THE ENTERING CLASS IN 2004 was 3.65-3.9 and 160-168.
Now if you look at the average gpa and lsat for all those accepted, but that didn't necessarily enroll it is 3.89 and 168.</p>
<p>Many other law schools provide this same info and we can see how competitive the application process is and especially how numbers driven it all is. The best students are accepted at more schools than the mediocre ones that simply fall into the school's averages. I show this info to stress the importance of even one extra point someone could work for and earn on the lsat.</p>

This site also shows the difference between accepted students' numbers and maticulated students' numbers.</p>
