I would say yes, but does it matter? Non-traditionals don't get anything equivalent to a URM boost. They just probably have more interest things to write about in their PS's.

Your age and educational background don't make you non-trad.
But your role as a mother does.

The traditional path is to go to LS straight from college w/o WE or babies. I would say that you are def. non-trad!
