<p>Will the admission officer think me queer if I confess that I have major depression? Do colleges tend to reject applicants who have mental illness?Bad essay topic? Thanks:)</p>
<p>I think choosing another topic would make it much easier to present yourself as an attractive candidate for admission</p>
<p>Don’t do it! Why would you present a negative about yourself on an essay? </p>
<p>Write about something else. </p>
<p>Not a good essay topic. Essays that are written on bright topics that depict a successful and tenacious student tend to be more successful. Or, writing on overcoming a hardship. However, major depression may imply to the admissions officers that you won’t be able to handle a college atmosphere. I’d pick another topic!</p>
<p>I was told it’s one of the 4 Ds to avoid. Very hard to do it right.</p>
