    I am concerened about mentioning that I struggled in my undergraduate years because of panic disorder/social phobia, and that is something that I wasn’t able to conquer until after my graduation. But it was a MAJOR factor in why my grades/courses were not completed with the best grades! Any suggestions?

      Hi Ana — Fer sure … here’s a suggestion for you. Instead of ‘confessing’ and elaborating on some long story about panic disorder/social phobia, why not say that you experienced ‘anxiety’ and that you overcame it after graduation?
      That way you can talk about the impact it had on your grades without raising a red flag for adcoms. Good?

        Thanks, that sounds good, and what if they bring it up during an interview? Do I still stick to the script?

          Yes absolutely stick to the script; there’s definitely zero / none/ NO benefit to suddenly creating huge concerns about your ability to complete medical school during the interview. Yikes! -DonO
