I am applying to medschool to 2027 cycle. I don't consider myself disadvantaged, but in my childhood, I lived in a different country away from my parents until 8th grade; I did not meet my adoptive father until 5th grade. I moved to the US and had to adapt to the social and educational differences.

I'm not sure if I can write about this since it's not affecting me during my med school journey. I am planning to refer to it in my personal statement, but I am not restating it.
