it is a reach school for me. I would like to ask if it would be appropriate to mention I suffered from an OCD to the admissions officers? I was in the top 5% before, but I lived a traumatizing phase… That is the same reason my ACT is low. I had to potential to score 31+, but I had to walk of the testing room on two occasions because the OCD was taking over my life. Nonetheless, I overcame it and have come-out stronger.

On the other hand, I am not approaching this right. I am the first gen of my family who is going to a university in America. And I have talked to my councilor, but she sways me from applying there because she says you need a 31+ or it’d be a waste of time…
Thanks for the collaboration.
