My daughter wove it into her Common App essay in a creative and humorous way. It helped explain her sharp upward grade trend, which went from Cs and Ds, to Bs, to As over the course of high school. She applied to a reach school ED and got accepted (and is doing nicely, I might add, despite our concerns that it would be academically very difficult for her). If done right, it can be a great subject for an essay.
