I was thinking of putting in my general adversity essay in the challenges in journey spot, as I wrote about a chronic illness that began this past semester. However, my grades or anything weren't affected by it, though I learned some great lessons about being a patient, learning to take care of myself, etc. Should I include it or will it look like fluff?
Definitely include it... it was a challenge regardless of if you let it affect grades etc. It shows you understand what its like to be in your future patients shoes which is very important. The only reason to not include is if it was discussed extensively elsewhere in your app
