Hi everyone!! I need advice on whether or not its too dangerous to mention having dyslexia in my secondary application. I was diagnosed in elementary school and it was the pillar challenge that I faced as I grew up. As I start to write my diversity essay I cant help but want to write about it, I feel like through the challenges it presented me with I developed my communication skills and my personality (because i sucked ass at elementary school so i had to find other ways participate in the classroom), an extremely strong sense of perseverance, and most importantly i know the importance of being able to explain things in diverse ways and have developed ways to convert complex information into something that is more easily palatable. I think my grades in collage and my MCAT are competitive (3.8, 513) and prove that I can hold my own academically speaking, but im afraid that having dyslexia will always be viewed as a negative at the end of the day. What do you think, is dyslexia too dangerous to mention?
