I wanted to thank everyone for answering all of my questions. I was able to find a great apartment in a safe area thanks to all of your experience!

I think that it is important to be cautious. From what I have heard, not all adcoms will see that honesty as a neccesity and it could backfire. It really depends on how you word it and how long you speak about it in your SOP. Everyone's situation is different and even though I was diagnosed with three mental illnesses during my undergraduate degree, I was able to not mention it during my admissions process even though I had to take a year off, and get accepted.

I suffer from a few mental health issues and have been in therapy for the past two years now. I plan to continue therapy when I start school. I know that without my mental health, I will not be able to compete a program. 
 
But I did not mention this is any of my apps. I also heard that speaking about mental health will "spook" an adcom. I have a few people in my life that I can talk to about my mental health and I know what I need to do to keep sane. 

Hi everyone,
 
I got into WUSTL!!
 
I haven't got an email, I checked my application and there was a link that said "Decision Rendered" which had my admission letter dated today   
 
I applied on the 1st of December, so it took a month. 

Congrats Nochal!!
