Non Traditional

I see this popping up a lot in these forums, but dont really know why. I know the definition, and I definitely am one as I just turned 30 this year, but does it help you at all as you apply to law schools?

Assuming you've actually been working since you graduated from college, yes, this will make you non-traditional in that you have 5 or so years of work experience, which is valued and something most applicants lack.
