My cumulative GPA is 2.88. However, I have an addendum which could indicate the 2.3 & 2.4 gpa for my first 2 years at uni. I used to be very attached to family and commuted back and forth from city x to city y (where I attended uni) for four hours usually twice or three times a month. Had a difficult time adjusting to living away from home first year which resulted in a low first year gpa. But... I'm not sure how relevant this really is...
The second year, my university decided to have a 3.5 month long strike in October and halted all uni activities. Around November, my grandfather who I was very close to (who was my inspiration to be a lawyer, because he was a lawyer himself) passed away as well. And needless to say, I didn't handle this well and went to grief counselling and whatnot. When school reopened at end of February, the remainder of the first term was cramped into 2 weeks instead of the regular 4 weeks that was left. The exams were cramped into a 1.5 week period instead of the regular 3 weeks. This affected my studies A LOT as you might imagine (esp. with the death in family too.) The second semester was also cut off by a total of 3 weeks if I remember correctly. Everything was just rushed. So, I received a very low GPA that year as well.
However, in 3rd and 4th year, there were no such distractions (got used to being independent, no deaths, no strikes, etc.) and I improved my GPA to 3.3 and 3.4, a whole grade point. I also went to an Ivy League Business School in Canada for my undergrad and became president of the official marketing club for the uni. My majors were marketing and finance.
In addition, I am Middle Eastern and identify in the LGBT community. Yay for URM points

I'm interested in moving and living/around LA. Oh, and I'm a Canadian citizen. With my low grades/expected LSAT score (in 3 days eek!) I'm HOPING for Southwestern, Loyola LA or Whittier.
AH! Sorry this is really long but any help/opinion about my chances would be really appreciated!!!
