Transgender applicant HYPSM

Hi,

I’ll be applying to HYPSM and a few other schools, obviously my gpa/SAT/ACT/ECs are all competitive for these schools otherwise I wouldn’t be applying. However, I’m transgender (no activism or related, but I can talk about struggle), just wondering how the CC community thinks disclosing it or writing about this may affect my application either positively or negatively. Thanks.

I could imagine a great essay that includes this information. Otherwise, I think it’s a neutral.
