Is it taboo to talk about an illness you had in your personal statement? The way I've drafted it, it includes no pathos at all-- I'm not trying the get an adcom to pity me and get me into medical school. Living with my condition, though, and volunteering to help people like me once I got my condition managed has really been a significant part of my life though. Would it still be faux pas?
