How much of a Disadvantage...

<p>is it if you are registered to have a psychological disorder? Like lets say I know someone who has a bi-polar disorder or just completely snaps sometimes, but doesn't want to bring it up because it could be on her transcript when she applied for college and put her at a disadvantage (especially with the whole VT thing). What should she do, or at least what I should tell her to do? Thanks!</p>

<p>This type of information would not appear on your transcript. I would be open about your "friend's" issues because you want to be sure that the school is ready to respond to her needs. Generally, the information that is part of your high school admissions file does not get transferred over to your college counseling file.</p>
