Hi Strawdog,
I went to college in the early 80's and my epilepsy was a great cause of concern for the school. At that point I don't think I would have let any graduate program know about it. I'd ask some kind of academic advisor at your school who is familiar with the program you are applying to. Maybe they would have better insight than we would as to what would improve your chances. I can understand what you wrote completely. I would see how it goes over with people who haven't lived it. I hope you get it! Keep us posted.
