[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has a profile that is close to that but he does not have straight As (3.7) or high SAT ... He is dyslexic, he won't even get accepted to UMD. PlAys instrument Hundreds of volunteer hours because he enjoys it starting in 6th Plays on 2 sports teams at the highest level, always captain Helped raise $200k with his friend that has cancer Created his own company Clubs Knows sign language Has worked a summer job since he was in 6th grade Is a soccer referee He does these things because he likes them. He will go somewhere good enough and be fine. [/quote] I'm a professor at UMD and think your child sounds awesome. Love students like your son that excel despite a disability. More likely to work hard in college. I hope your son writes about all he has accomplished with dyslexia for his college essays! [/quote]
