1. Took the LSAT in December 2011 as a 20 year old senior and got a 166. Since graduating with a degree in Poli Sci and a minor in Chinese, I have been living and teaching English in Asia. I'm hoping to score in the 170s this September but I don't have great reasons for wanting to go to law school; I just want to make a lot of money and think I would be a good lawyer.

2. My biggest worry is that I won't score high enough to get into my dream schools. Also, not having a compelling reason to be a lawyer.

3. a. How my experiences living in Asia over the last four years have shaped who I am. I don't think I can tie this into why I want to be a lawyer since I took the LSAT while I was still in college so the interest was there beforehand.

b. My twin was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer shortly after I arrived in Asia. Really makes you think about life and all the "why not me?" questions. Perhaps I could talk about the randomness of life and how you need to take advantage of opportunities as they come up. My twin is fine now by the way.

4. No and no.
