it shouldn’t be a risk at all…but in reality a lot of things are. I was contemplating mentioning my mental diagnoses but after much consideration I decided not to. Who knows who reviews your app, you know? I would like to think they are judicious and fair but even judges(!) can make decisions based on personal opinions and biases instead of the law. With that said I included on my app that I volunteer with a local democratic party chapter. Even putting this I was a little apprehensive for it being partisan AT ALL. So is it worth the risk? I would say if you truly learned and gained from the experience, it is. But I would imagine that if I wrote for a liberal magazine and was applying for, say, Tex A & M I would have to seriously weigh the pros and cons.
