[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was diagnosed and missed over 5 weeks of school this year. Are people not advising to address that in the common app? Over 25 missed days of school and numerous half days. I assumed that would be adressed somewhere so that absences (which show on transcript) and the fact they will have 2 b's this year. Not for pity, but to explain? Disheartening to hear that shouldn't be mentioned[/quote] Explanations of reasons for missing school etc. are supposed to go in the additional information section in the Common App[/quote] That is what I was thinking. But many other post so far say that indicating a chronic illness (similar to lupus) would be harmful in the application process. I mean I think it shows overcoming adversity to finish a school year with 5 A and 2 B or B+ after all this[/quote]
