Like you, im not thrilled with some of these questions and Im not sure how this helps her plan for college. Number 5 I I would say is a good topic, and I think deals with career. She definitely should list her career goals, then work backward on what she needs to get there. Adcoms do want to here this. What I think they get frustrated with is vague unthought answers. I would not list clubs or ecs, those arent life goals, but I would add non career interests or hobbies to help give the rounded person picture.

IEP or not, you do not have to reveal disabilites to the college. If you think you have a compelling story about overcoming adversity, this may help. Otherwise I would omit them entirely.
