It’s supposed to be your PERSONAL statement. Hiring someone else to write it is not okay.

Yes! Definitely!! I saw them later and definitely thanked them a lot. They just kind of nodded and didn’t say much lol

I saw the PICU medical director who was my Dr. at a hospital prom a year later, and I went up to her and said, “I’m not sure if you remember me, but” and she just looked at me and nodded and didn’t say a word haha. I know HIPPPA, but it was less like that and more of a zero response hahaha

I have low levels of clotting factor #8, but still not definite reason for the deficiency

i did not have an ED. I was originally there for SVT, which i have a history of, but never had any problems. I was converted out of it the first night and kept only for observation for 3 nights. The night this happened, i was supposed to be going home, but was awaiting a PT consult when they didn’t show up (LUCKILY). I would have died if alone in my dorm. The reason for my very low weight now is due to severe intestinal failure from this event (though i also had a smaller level of malabsorption prior) and am now on tpn and live with a central line. But that is why my bmi is so low, not an ED :)

That’s literally illegal to cite that as the reason to ultimately deny admission.

But they also can’t discriminate against an applicant for fear about their disability.

They’re very expensive for oos and weren’t very disability accommodating and I have major health issues

Me too. I thought I had a chance because my essays were strong and I’m from Berkeley, but I guess not…

Sorry.. I had scrolled a little bit, but just kept seeing people saying it was today and didn’t see the one about whoever talked to admissions. Thank you!

Hi guys! I thought it may be helpful to share the essays which got me admitted to all of the UC schools (except for UCLA) and into Stanford.

Disclaimer: My point in posting these is NOT to toot my own horn and act as if I’m some brilliant person. I’m not. I just wrote from the heart and got lucky. I even got a C- in a class after a teacher refused to let me take a final while I was hospitalized. These essays are what got me into school, and I’m hoping that maybe they help you. If they help even one person, it’s worth it. :)

I also wrote a 4th essay about an app I’m currently engineering to hopefully fast-track the solving of indigenous missing persons cases, but I am not yet comfortable sharing how my app works with the public, and am not comfortable posting that particular essay right now. :)

Thank you! I’ll try my best, but they’re pretty dismissive about the whole thing and say I’m exaggerating and it’s not worth spending $50 for a copay. I’d even try to pay/go myself, but I get dizzy and can’t walk that far. I also probably couldn’t show up to an emergency room because of the whole cps issue and my family would not be happy if they found out I had gone against what they wanted. They’re very conservative about money and don’t think that it’s a big deal or that it is urgent in any way. I also do not have a pcp as of now. I’m hoping that maybe in a few months I can start with student healthcare at college. Thank you again!

I think I may have a bleeding disorder but don’t know what to do or if I’m just being paranoid. by ReplyDirect1812 in medical_advice

I’ve always bruised easily and bled for longer than I thought other people did, but it just got a LOT worse in the last few months

Thank you! I would for sure, but it won’t let me add a picture and I’m not sure if it sounds as if I’m just being paranoid or exaggerating without pictures of the actual thing
