U of Maine Welcoming for Older Students

If you're thinking of going to law school as part of a mid-life career change, you might want to put the University of Maine School of Law on your list of schools to consider.

Over a third of the 262 students currently enrolled in the School's J.D. program are over 30, putting Maine at the top of the "Most Welcoming of Older Students" category in this year's Princeton Review rankings.

Other law schools on the Princeton Review's 'Most Welcoming' list are Rutgers and the City University of New York.

Personal statements often play a pivotal role in older applicants' admissions outcomes by persuading (or failing to persuade) law school admissions committees of the applicant's reasons for wanting to begin a rigorous academic program at a later stage of life.
