<p>Hi Everyone! I only finished my first draft of my essay about a week ago and I was hoping someone on here would be willing to look over it and basically just let me know if I seem "on track". </p>
<p>It is a very personal essay about my struggle with an eating disorder and how i overcame it. I would be happy to PM it to anyone willing to give me feedback (positive or negative)! Please keep in mind that it is in its early stages!</p>
<p>Thank you!!
I am class on 2009 by the way</p>
<p>Many similar threads exist on cc...but, in general, the consensus is that writing about a problem that can be considered a mental health issue is not the way to go. Unfortuately, despite your own personal success, schools are concerned with relapse and it can negatively effect your chance of admissions.</p>
<p>You should be proud of yourself! But your goal now that you are healthy is to make the most of opportunities that are available to you. Therefore, think of your essay as a way to sell yourself. Don't give an admissions counselor room for doubt. Keep away from topics that can be used against you. It is not your obligation to reveal your most intimate issues in this essay.</p>
<p>Best of luck!!</p>
