[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine took  us history, world history, language, Spanish, calc BC, Java/CS, human geography.  Some were problematic than others.  Let your kid decide what they think they can handle

Unfortunately it’s usually advised to not disclose adhd diagnosis on college apps. [/quote]

Not op, my son has AuDHD abd other diagnosis. Do disclose reduce some college app acceptance rate? [/quote]

I think it isn’t really known, but people decide better safe than sorry. Everything on this feels kind of anecdotal or assumption based. It probably depends a lot on what schools your kid is applying to and their overall academics.

I have heard that if it is obvious from your kid’s transcript (eg they have a resource class) there is no harm in being direct because it is already going to be assumed. I think it can also be wise to disclose if there is something you need to explain, like certain grades or a foreign language waiver, etc.

That said, I personally would not go way out of my way to lay out every detail unless I thought it was necessary.

And, in my opinion any school that would not be excited about my kid just because they have a learning disability is probably not the right school for my kid. So I’m not going to overthink it.[/quote]
