[quote=Anonymous]I asked my sister who works in admissions. Here was her advice 1. Leave it out if it is a "common" chronic illness and your essay is just about how you overcame it. 2. Leave it out if it is one of the more "controversial" illnesses, like POTS, Fibro, CFS, etc. My sister has one of them and she knows all too well the stigma that some people have with them. You don't want to risk your essay being read by someone who is going to roll their eyes and think you're exaggerating. 3. Include it if it is something that helps explain why you want to go to a certain school. For instance, maybe the chronic illness has made the person want to go into research of some kind and this school is known for it. 4. Include it if the essay is about more than just overcoming your illness. She said obviously there is more but that's what she could think of off the top of her head. [/quote]
