<p>A friends son wishes to get back into college after dropping out for emotional med leave. ANy advice on essay to explain year off from school for essay?</p>
<p>Be honest without every gorey detail. Focus on what has been learned in the year off and how much better prepared he is to succeed now. Talk about any experiences (job, community service) that he had.</p>
<p>It may also be helpful to have a supporting letter from his healthcare professional that he is cleared to return to school. Agree that it would be helpful to talk about the resources he has gathered in his time away from school that will help him succeed (time management, stress management, etc.) </p>
<p>It would also be great talking about what he has done during the break that has helped him focus on what he wants to get out of college, if that is true (e.g. fields he’s more interested in pursuing after his job/volunteer/community service).</p>
