<p>We are not talking about a kid who wants to use “How I overcame my eating disorder and met Calista Flockhart.” as her main essay. We’d all counsel “No”. At least, I know I would.</p>
<p>THIS school knows something is up with THIS kid. They have asked for an explanation. To be less than forthright and leave them guessing as to the nature of the illness? Not a good option IMO. Lots of things worse than admitting to a treated eating disorder. Their imagination might run wild.</p>
