Should I tell colleges my medical history?

<p>Right now as a high school sophomore im going through amplified pain syndrome. So im in pain 24/7. It does effect my grades but im still an A/high B student. When I go to apply for colleges shouls I tell the colleges this?</p>

<p>Yes; perhaps you should address it in your Common Ap essay as “overcoming adversity”.</p>

<p>from what I’ve read in other posts, don’t. it can unofficially hurt admissions.</p>
