No way could this be an issue.

Just be sure to limit your exclamation points to no more than three per sentence in your application and I don't see you having any issue.

Based on your writing sample of 21 words, I'd say C&F couldn't possibly be the portion of the bar you need to worry about.

Hi - I have ADHD & use prescribed medication.

First, maybe check out what your jurisdiction considers to be illnesses/impairments you would have to disclose. I researched this years ago before going to law school and some southern states were a little more stringent than others. (Qualifier: That was a few years ago, & I skimmed - not trying to scare anyone. I merely noted that the wording/standards were different from some other sates). Just off the cuff, it seems unlikely this will pose any issue.

Second, is there a Dean at your school whose assigned to guide people through the Bar App process? Maybe check in with them & see what they know. Your conversation with them should be considered confidential.

or Third, just call your jurisdiction's Bar & ask them anonymously. Don't trouble yourself worrying needlessly.
