[quote=Anonymous]My kid's application made it clear that she has type 1 diabetes, a disability -- would never try to hide that, and probably couldn't if she tried. It's too much a part of her. Didn't write about ADHD but discussed it openly in admission conversations/interviews. Wasn't going for top schools, more like schools with a 30% (lowest) to 75)% (highest) acceptance range. Her rationale was that she might as well be upfront about who she is since it's the truth. If they discriminate, okay, F them, it clearly wouldn't be a good fit anyway. But it didn't hurt her. The schools were great. [/quote]
