The Dean does offer the advice he needs a more balanced list. That questioner needs to understand you don’t get into an Ivy or other each based on explanations. Grades reflect learning and focus. And it’s not about ‘the diagnosis and how it affected him.’ Rather, the goal would be how he overcame. IF a kid did.

This is something too many kids don’t understand. Imo, too often, it reflects not looking deeply enough at the reaches, to begin to understand what they’re about and the bar peers set with their solid preparation. Dreaming and wanting- and being IQ smart- are just not enough. Unfortunately, results matter.
