Ok well give it a shot. Didn't mean to shut down any creativity on your part.

I actually don't think dyslexia will play negatively in a PS, although I'd save it for an addendum if you can find a better topic. Dyslexia doesn't have the negative associations that things like anxiety or depression do. It's not considered a mental illness, and it's clearly something you've been able to figure out and work around.

I really wouldn't see it working against you any more than I would see a heart condition, etc. working against you.

Hey there. I was (am?) in the exact same position as you. I wrote about my journey overcoming dyslexia and how that influenced my decision to go into law. I got into every school I applied to (with the exception of a waitlist). Feel free to pm me if you have questions.
