I had a terrible freshman year, due to my learning disability. I had recieved a C in what was supposedly my favorite subject and that was by far my worse grade. After getting treated, I became much more able to focus and as a result I have won significant awards in that area. My question is whether Princeton will scrutinize my “C” despite me more than making up for it.
You didn’t post the above information when I replied to your similar question on the Yale forum: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/1791376-dealbreakers-in-admissions.html#latest
I stand by everything I said in that post, however, if you have a learning disability backed up with a verified IEP and 504 plans, or a note from your doctor, then your guidance counselor can write-against your grade in your SSR. So long as your GC adds an explanation, HYPSM et al will evaluate you in the context of your learning disability. So, when the time comes to apply to college, you really need to have a conversation with your guidance counselor, as they are one of your best friends in the applications process.
