Hello another one of these...
cGPA: 3.15
by year:
1st: 2.1
2nd: 3.0
3rd: 3.8
4th: 3.7

First year was brutal due to poor program choice. I went into nursing (what was I thinking??) then transfered to political science which was a much better fit.

I did quite well on the lsat scoring a 168 so i'm hoping that will make up for my poor cGPA

My ECs are rather poor, the only thing worth mentioning is my part time job which is at a homeless shelter, i'm hoping this looks quite good as I didnt take part in any clubs or volunteering.

I have 3 letters of refrences 2 from professors and a 3rd from my job.

My number one choice for schools is Calgary (hometown) but would be willing to relocate to anywhere in the country if I were to be admitted. Based on this profile what schools would be my best shot?

With a 168 + a 3.75 lsat 2 you are IN at U of A. U of C is extremely unpredictable, but I'd say you have a foot in. You probably also have a solid chance at Queen's/Western/Osgoode.
However UBC, UVic and U of T out.

Calgary is a crapshoot, but I think you'll get in.

You have a great chance at New Brunswick, because if you've already graduated they drop your 25% lowest marks. I'm guessing you got a couple 50s and 60s in 1st and 2nd year; UNB will make those disapear.

Obviously you have no chance at U of T or U Vic. Windsor and Ottawa are probably both out because they tend not to care about L2/B2. I think you probably have a chance at Western or Queen's.

Apply far and wide; you'll get in somewhere!

Look at schools with L2 GPA calculations. Cagary does last 60 credits (I believe). Your LSAT is stellar. With decent softs you are in at Calgary.
