I am thinking about applying for admission into an Ivy League college as a fibromyalgia sufferer. I am 25 years old. I suffered from fibromyalgia for about 6 years. I couldn’t do anything because of it. I just spent my time fighting it while doing nothing. Luckily I overcame it.
Unfortunately even though medical costs are much cheaper in my country than they are in in the US**,** I’ve found ** that a lot of people from my country think I’m faking an illness. It’s a kind of bigotry. I am afraid that it could relapse down the line, so** I made up my mind to study in the US**.** I know some colleges like Yale or Brown offer admissions programs for non-traditional students like me**, but others **like Harvard or Stanford don’t specifically refer to them. Provided that I have the same SAT and AP scores [as whom?] as well as oodles of extracurricular activities, I wonder if my case could be compelling to any of the college admissions offices and help me to gain entry into one of these schools.
ETA-the above isn’t meant to be cruel; it’s meant to answer your question.
Admission to the schools you mention in your post is extremely competitive even for traditional US students with near-perfect grades and scores. If you’re really bent on attending school in the US I’d recommending expanding your search. There is an abundance of fine schools in the US.
