Can health problems be brought up in application?

What is the upside? Are you hoping the admissions office will ‘excuse’ a low grade or test score? I don’t think that’s likely. If you have a health problem that limits your athletic participation or time in clubs, it may be relevant.

But ask yourself what the upside of talking about it in an application is, and would your application be just as strong without disclosing the medical issue.
