3.07 cGPA, 172 LSAT - UVIC, Queen's, TMU, Calgary, Alberta

[LawLurker88]

Only applying to Schools with drops or that look at only some years, as I understand a 3.07 cGPA won't cut it otherwise, even with a good LSAT (172, 1 attempt). 

TMU Gpa (Best 60 Credits/20 courses): 4.07/4.33

Uvic GPA (30 credits dropped): 3.45/4.33 

Queen's GPA (Best 2): 3.35 / 4.30 

Calgary/Alberta (Last 2): 3.12 / 4.00 

Around 4 years of work experience, and 300+ volunteer hours. Difficult major if it helps (Electrical Engineering). 

Good chance at any school? I see some people have gotten into UVic with my stats (or even lower), but am unsure if the GPA they are showing on their graphs includes drops or not. 

Is an additional year of undergraduate study necessary? (I've already graduated so it would be towards a second degree I wouldn't plan on finishing)

With an additional year of 4 classes/semester at a 3.9 (which I know I can achieve with my current work ethic) I would be looking at around a 3.55 at UVic, 3.5 Calgary/Alberta, and 3.76 at Queen's. Would this greatly help my chances?

Apply to Oz, Queens, Western, and Ottawa. There's nothing to loose.

Only an Applicant myself, so take what I say with a grain of salt - but I've had two friends with STEM undergrads similar to yours get into U of T & UBC as 'splitters'. I'd assume the ADCOMs committee certainly weighs your degree differently as it certainly stands out from the typical humanities/social science undergrads. 

Overall, I'd say good chance at all of the schools you've listed, and I'd also echo @Lawhopeful123's recommendation if you aren't too strapped for applications funds.
