They care about your background this much: <->
They care about your LSAT score this much: <--------------------------------------------->
Having a diverse background will help you put together a unique application but it won't get you admitted to any schools you don't already have the LSAT/GPA to be competitive at.

With the right LSAT (read: 170 +), it may tip the scales in your favor and help you overcome the slight GPA disadvantage you'll face w/r/t NYU/Berkeley. Without the right LSAT, it won't matter.

Will you get a URM-like boost to your application? No, sorry.
But you have fodder for an interesting application, at least.
You need a real LSAT score before anyone can "chance" you. Don't discount any schools yet -- Berkeley and NYU would love to take you if your LSAT's high enough.

I echo what other posters have said, and I also want to say I love the Luann avatar.

Don't know if you've seen it already, but you could try Pithypike's Guide.

No law schools care about that. Just score well on LSATS
