How much information is too much in admissions essay?

If you intent is to make an impact, you will because they may not like being made to feel very uncomfortable. Improper???Probably. TMI. You’ve gotten through a tough life. I don’t know if you realize that most people haven’t experienced what you want to relate. It may be offensive.
There is a reason it is taboo.
If you want to risk writing about it, then that’s on you. It could be written in a documentary style. But, don’t be surprised if it’s not accepted the way you intend for it to be accepted. I personally would not risk it.
