<p>I’m posting this without reading everyone else’s comments on the thread, so take this with a grain of salt if it seems a bit out of place or redundant. I have a good friend that has ADHD yet she is one of the most active and intelligent people I have met. However this means she fairs terrible on standarized tests because of anxiety and inability to focus. Despite this, this year she has taken 3 AP courses and can definitely handle the rigor. When applying to colleges though, she made sure she had a doctor’s note explaining the ADHD conditions and how that may have affected her academics (she was not offered extra time on the SATs). In addition, the GC offered to mention it in her rec. Again, this is one of the most dedicated, active, and compassionate people I have ever met. It may be different for others, but I know there is medication and if that doesn’t work out you can consider transferring, but I feel like it is the parents decision not the school’s, and they shouldn’t kick her out if she’s been able to handle things of that level in the past just because of the new diagnosis.</p>
