I would leave out the ADHD part. I would also limit the time frame covered in your essay to HS. Don’t write about struggles in 3rd grade or junior high, for example.

The timeframe is within High School I’m making sure of that.

@Mwfan1921

I assume you mean University of Kansas…that will be a safety for you, assuming it’s affordable. If you want other safety ideas you might look at [ASU] and U Arizona.

Yep, my bad! That is my main safety right now.

For the schools on your list that offer EA, I encourage you to get those apps in during that round (unless you apply early to a school that restricts other EA apps.)

Are you considering applying ED anywhere?

I will be having most all of my apps done in the EA period just to get them out of the way. I’m not super sure where I will ED yet but I’m thinking maybe Cornell, Brown, or Purdue.
