Am I considered non-traditional?

[Woop99]

Hi everyone, basically as the title is asking. I'm not sure if I am a non-traditional applicant because although I completed both a bachelor's and master's degree in Criminal Justice, a lot of my extracurricular activities are medically related. I also teach but am confused because of my other extracurricular activities such as scribing and volunteer experience. Just don't want to come off as a traditional applicant with the academic struggles I have faced along this path

The definition of non-trad has evolved over the years.
If you have had an intervening career since undergrad, you would be considered non-trad now.

Interesting, thanks! I’ve been substitute teaching high school level but that’s about it

At the admissions level, all applicants are held to the same standards. There is no distinction made between "trad" and "non-trad."
