Baller137 · 06-24-2006, 08:48 PM

I am a male in colorado and i attend a competative boarding school. I am in the top 15 in my class and i have between a 3.8 and 4.0. I have really really great e.c's and i am class prez. I recieved a 30 on the act without prep. I plan to take the test again and aim for a 32+. I will write an excelent essay and i will get good recs. I am considdering applying early to yale, upenn(legacy), or harvard.

I have a ADD/Dysgrafia (not the best speller). I get extra time on all tests i take. How will my learning disibilities effect my chances at the ivies and other top schools. Will it hurt my chances, help them, or have not effect?

Thank you for responding
