Wow, glad to hear from everyone - and I'm glad I'm not alone in being a bit "older". :) I'm 31, work a full-time job where I have to go on business trips, helping my mom transition back to work after a medical procedure, and still studying for the LSAT! I did my Masters when I was 26 and working part-time, so I have learned a lot about time management over the past few years. I'm glad we have a forum on here to share our perspectives.

Three sentence bio: I'm 31, graduated in 2008 with a B.A. in Honours Political Science and minor in Commerce with a 3.8 GPA. I'll be writing the LSAT for the first time in December, and planning to rewrite in February. I have a Masters in Public Policy (4.0 GPA), speak Cantonese Chinese, French, and German, and have spent a lot of time working in environmental policy development.

Ideas for my personal statement: I focused my personal statement on linking my passion for environmental protection and human rights to my undergraduate studies, graduate school research, and also my work experience in federal and provincial environmental agencies. I also speak to how my personal travels in southeast Asia have inspired me to work for human rights and protecting the environment.

Biggest worry: GPA + LSAT combo not being high enough - I was in a major that was not my strength in first two years, and my grades in first and second year are not as strong as my upper years. The schools that I'm focusing on don't take Masters grades into the calculation, although will consider it in the "discretionary/mature student category".

This is my first time participating in a session!
