[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question- I’ve heard not to write about medical illnesses or being sick. Thoughts? My DC was diagnosed a year ago with a rare medical disease with a life expectancy of mid-50s. I want to encourage then to write about this experience and living with this knowledge but still living “life to the fullest” and what that means with a possible “end” date. But I don’t want colleges to think they are being sappy or trying to gain empathy. Or think it’s untrue. Would love feedback on this subject. [/quote] I’d be curious to hear from an actual college app reader about this. I’ve also heard “no death, divorce, disease” topics. I think any well-written topic that shows the committee what the candidate’s like is good. Silly or profound. [/quote]
