Mental Health Disorder of Relative

Good luck on your APs, you’ve got this!

Thanks!!

Hey everyone! So after some more thinking and actually reading through a book showing sample essays of students, I decided against doing anything related to my uncle. I have come up with a much better way to show who I am and think my new topic will be much more insightful.

Nice to hear @thebossofbosses. Wishing you the best of luck as you jump into the world of college essay-writing!

My daughter asked an admissions officer the same question, in regard to her ill brother. She was told NOT to include the story in her essay, but to put it in the “Additional Info” section, since his last relapse definitely traumatized her and affected her grades.

@MaineLonghorn
Thank you for the advice. This is actually the kind of advice I was looking for from the beginning, from a reputable source such as an AO.
