graduate admissions - What are the chances of getting into a PhD program in math after other pursuits in life?


I have a very unusual profile for a PhD program applicant. I worked a few years in business after college and have recently completed a J.D. I did not have much research experience in college except my honors thesis. My grades in math are solid but I did not take any grad level classes. After the "distractions", I have decided that I would like to study math and do math research. I do love math and was quite good at it. I'm concerned that the admissions committee might view my trajectory as unfocused.


I would appreciate any feedback and suggestion as to how I can best remedy my situation.


Thank you so much for your help.
