Oh hey, that’s the younger sister of one of my classmates at NCS. It’s a small world sometimes.

Unfortunately, I don’t think acceptance at UMD College Park is likely with a B+ average. My junior with learning challenges though not dyslexia currently has a 3.8 uw - about 50% of classes are honors (with hopefully 3 APs and 2 DE by end of senior year). College Park is a high reach for his stats and coursework and that’s aiming for freshman connection which he’d be overjoyed to get. He is looking at JMU, Towson and similar as targets. My other DS with dysgraphia is at UMD College Park but he had high stats and way more rigor.

My DC has dyslexia and dysgraphia and is a B+ student at a rigorous private. They didn’t take any foreign language in high school. They want to play their sport at either club or d3 level. List included: Dickinson, Gettysburg, Muhlenberg, Chapman, Lake Forest, Puget Sound, LMU. They’re down to two: Chapman and Lake Forest.

Not sure of the status of these programs/schools - but this was an initial list we reviewed a few years ago. https://www.koppelmangroup.com/blog/2022/7/6/top-7-colleges-for-dyslexic-students

Anonymous wrote:DC is not applying this year but we are planning ahead to find the right fit. DC is dyslexic and dysgraphic (with an IEP) and is a solid B+ student in mostly regular classes with one or two AP and honors classes thrown in. Taking the ACT practice exams but no scores yet. Wants to focus on earth science and atmospheric sciences. Has a lot of impressive EC activities and athletics, including leadership and professional level paid accomplishments. Plays two sports at the varsity level. Looking at schools like College Park, Virginia Tech, UVA, Rutgers, NC state, and other larger schools that have a BS in earth/atmospheric studies. Are there any smaller colleges to consider that would support a student with this profile? Higher achieving with learning disabilities but not straight A and not a plethora of AP or DE classes yet.
