No one knows what the future holds, so take care of yourself and plan optimistically - for the application purposes, the illness is something that slowed you down, you defeated, and then you soared. Mention health issues to explain the grades. Then focus on overcoming the difficulties to show the resiliency, and your success later on. | |

I should've also been more specific, It's not depression but rather a schizophrenia-spectrum illness that includes depression as part of the negative aspects (I suppose I was TOO vague). I'm sure you can see how that would be hard to even mention; there is rampant misinformation about the topic and I wouldn't want to give the admissions committee even the slightest reason of pause in considering me. | |
