<p>Hey,
I'm going to apply to colleges soon, and will do MIT, caltech, and University of Chicago Early Action.</p>
<p>I was wondering if it is good idea to disclose that you are deaf (I wear Cochlear Implants) in your main college essay?</p>
<p>Some people said I should disclose it, so they can see how "accomplished" or came far as I am now, but I don't want to make the Adcoms think that I'm excusing for myself, make them feel sorry for me, and so on.</p>
<p>If I were to write an essay on this, how could I write about my deafness in the essay in a positive light, or something like that? Please be specific (like, I shouldn't say it outright, but allude to it so the adcoms can figure it out on their own?)</p>
<p>Any suggestions will be welcome, and thanks!</p>
