Send the Subject test scores. There is no need to talk about your health with scores that excellent. (altho I believe you that you were weakened --and I think it is terrible that you kids have to jump thru this many hoops…coming from an excellent high school only makes it more likely you must aim high in scores and you succeeded). There are two intangibles that I am going to opine about here that are true for all applicants. Nothing shines like Integrity and good character in an application. Also, nothing is more of a quiet turn off more than an Anxiety Driven 17-18 year old (speaking as a parent of kids who appeared for Symphony at Zero Block at 7:15 am before school started and did homework till midnight often aargggh!). Don’t let the anxiety in this (granted) crazy thing called applying to a highly selective school break your good spirits and make you do “crazy” stuff like feel bad about a 740 or a 780 on subject exams. All colleges are looking for well balanced people who can kick it out of high school, find their freedom and dig in and try new avenues of living and learning. Find your mojo and write your best essays and let your light shine. Schools are looking for good energy and future contributors. You do not have to be “perfect” in any way.
