I did fairly well in my first year of law school, mostly A- and B+ with 2 Bs. First semester of 2L I got 3 B+s and a B. Second semester it all came crashing down. I suffered the loss of numerous loved ones and friends due to regional conflict and ended up with 2 C+s, a C and a D. I dreamed of Bay St., and got to day 2 with a large Bay St. firm before being cut during the 2L recruit. I am now searching for articling positions and will explain this drop in my GPA, although I am pretty sure any corporate firm is out of the picture for me.

I am going to aim to get the highest GPA possible for 3L but can someone tell me honestly what my chances are of landing where I prefer. What can I do in this situation? Thanks.
