[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk of how your special needs child overcame [/quote]

This is a horrible idea. My senior kid with a physical disability from a top stem high school has very high stats, EC, ect…Should have easily had top schools during college admissions. Didn’t write any essays about the disability, but her recommendations did thinking it showed perseverance. 
Biggest mistake ever. [/quote]

DP. I'm so sorry for the disappointments. He sounds amazing.  Byt, are you sure the reason your kid did not get admissions was because of this disclosure?  I've known a few kids at our top magnet who did not get T10 admits. I ask because I have a magnet kid considering addressing adhd in a part of her essay. I think how she has managed it and succeeded says a lot about her, and her grades/scores/ECs are great. May I ask what was your son's disability (or an equivalent if you don't want to disclose) and what he applied for (eg. Was it something that adds an admissions hurdle)?
I hope he is happy with where he is going. Thanks for your insight. [/quote]
