Graduate / advice if i should discuss this in my personal statement or will it hurt me? [3]
I have always struggled with learning in school. I was in special ed since grammar school but I studied hard and made it through grad school with ms in biology. I noticed in some of the questions for the personal statement want to know what makes you a unique candidate. I thought about talking about my past in school but I am afraid of doing so because I don't want admission committee to think I am not capable of work or I am not the brightest student. I don't know if I should talk about being in special ed and overcoming obstacles is necessary in a personal statement for phd in biology? what do y'all think?
