LSAT Tools
There will probably be a flurry of LSAT scores being dispersed relatively soon. Of course, many of you have already researched schools you are interested in applying to, but for those that are looking for more tools to research law schools--and your chances of getting into them--here is a collection of links.
Note: All these tools are approximations, gaining admission into a law school has much more to do with it than just grades and LSAT scores.
Boston College Law School Locator:
Here's a static tool that charts your GPA and LSAT Score to give a rough estimate of the sort of school to which you might gain admission.

Law School Admissions Calculator
Here's a tool that draws data from lawschoolnumbers.com...a site where users upload their rejection/acceptance information. It might shed light on what sorts of schools candidates who are similar to you were admitted.

Pashalaw
This tool goes beyond the LSAT-GPA Calculation, it also allows users to conduct research on law schools using several different qualifiers.

Of course, these are only a few crude tools, but as an LSAT taker, I always found it interesting to "see where I stood".
If you are interested in law school and are confused, freaking out, or even really excited about several different offers, call the Career Center and see a law school counselor.
