[quote=Anonymous][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]
Agree with all of this.   My kid did not disclose because their grades were decent and test scores high.   As with all college admissions, there is no transparency and you will never fully know what helps or hurts.  [/quote]
