Unfortunately, I would avoid writing about this. This will make colleges really weary about accepting you. In fact, writing about an eating disorder can actually hurt your chances at getting into colleges. Most colleges are afraid of accepting a student with a mental illness or eating disorder because of the possibilities of something happening to that student and/or other students on campus. Writing about the negative effects that the eating disorder had on your grades, GPA, ECs, etc. will make colleges even more worried (because they will be afraid of how you’d perform at college). If I were you, I would write about a different topic. Do you have any other ideas for your essay?
