You’re writing not only to
show off your writing skills, but also to sell yourself
to the admissions officer
(your reader). It doesn’t make sense to reveal unflattering or potentially damaging
information about your-
self. It is the reader’s job to select candidates
who are not only smart enough,
but also emotionally sta-
ble enough to stay in school and do well for four years. They’ll probably reject
you if you give them reason
to believe you might not be able to handle college. While the hook of the
essay about seeing a psy-
chiatrist is well done, it’s not the kind of material that works for the application essay.
