[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The three main concerns with disclosing: 1) Depending on the disability, there may be a stigma and/or assumptions made out of ignorance. 2) There are only so many essays. Is your disability the most important thing you want people to know about you? (Sometimes the answer may be yes, depending on the disability and the impact it has had) 3) If not done well, it can look like you're using disability as an excuse for not meeting the school's regular standards. That's unlikely to land well.[/quote] Are these concerns mostly isolated to top 25 schools, which are in the regular practice of looking for reasons/excuses to deny rather than accept? Should a parent or student be as concerned if their ambitions are top 50-100?[/quote] If a school is less rejective, number 3 might be less of an issue. But the others are. I'd discuss with your student what their goal is for disclosing.[/quote]
