yes this is this an adversity and I dont think they would view you as disadvantaged. Now, I still think your story will leave an impact on your personal statement, and will carry on when you apply for residency one day. Residency programs want hard workers who demonstrate a well roundedness and resilence, which obviously you demonstrate.thanks for the advice! I think you're right but I just had some follow up questions - I got kicked out before HS graduation so I was kind of struggling to even make it to graduation. Also since my parent didn't really care for my education I didn't have a chance to participate in a lot of extracurriculars etc. in high school that could've been seen as enrichment. I did have to pay for everything myself during this time so even though my parents have high SES I was living out of a car at one point so would that transfer over to me? Also, I was under the impression that diversity/adversity essays had to be experiences from college (is this a false assumption?) Thanks so much for your help
