I’ve been in and out of school during my Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years for at least a month each due to illnesses, but my doctor couldn’t find anything to connect the sicknesses together, so I don’t have a full explanation to colleges. I feel as if these sicknesses adversely affected my GPA, so I would like to tell them about it, but I’m not sure how. If I tell them that I was sick for 3 years, will they not want a child who gets sick that often? Would it be better to tell them that I was sick for only one year? I have other things such as AP scores, ACT scores, and small competitional awards to show them that I might have done better if I were not sick.
Your GC should mention it in your counselor rec for colleges.
