[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went through this with DD. She did not want her LD mentioned anywhere because she's "outgrown" it, ie shed the diagnosis. (She still has issues, though.) Her guidance counselor insisted that she both mention her LD history in her essay, and that he write about it in his letter, so she did. The guidance counselor said it's essential for kids like my DD to mention that they've had LD. It explains the high test scores (DD tested almost as high as your DD), but lower overall grades. I worried it would come off as whiny too, but the guidance counselor said colleges need the overall picture of your kid. Also, when your child goes to college, she may need some accommodations, so it's best to be upfront about her challenges. [/quote] OP here. This is helpful. How did your DD do in the admissions process? [/quote]
