Yeah, I thought about the race thing some more and I’m gonna put down all three. Especially since they are so much of who I am (I mean, besides the obvious :p) I’m proud of my heritage!so why not? :)

Ah yeah I didn’t realize I hadn’t put it. I am going back and forth with what to do about that…my guidance counselor is putting that I had a “medical issue,” but I don’t know if that’s still a red flag. I looked up some threads and it seems a few people also have the same problem, but not many have solutions. I definitely don’t plan on writing a ‘sob story’ essay, but I am not the same person I was in freshman year. Yes, depression and eating disorders can return, I am certainly aware of that. But I have “matured” so quickly because of them…meh, I really don’t know what to do about it. It’s so aggravating…it brings down my cumulative GPA a ton. Unfortunately, colleges probably get a lot of these excuses Would saying that there was a death in the family be safer than saying I was depressed? I have no idea…any more advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for the response!
