[quote=Anonymous]There’s not really a natural place to disclose it. They don’t specifically ask in the Common Application. My DS mentioned it in his personal statement, but the essay wasn’t about his disability. We went back and forth about mentioning it and while many say not to, it’s a defining thing in his life (not that he has a learning disability but that he’s overcome so many problems it caused). He got in to all his t50-100 schools and even his reach in the 40s. I think that was the way to do it. Gives some cover for why he was heavier in math/science and why he didn’t max out Spanish (he has dyslexia) but he was still standing behind his gpa and sat, which weren’t top of class but very solid.
