<p>Hello everyone. I was born with a rare heart condition called “tetrollogy of fallot” when I was born. Because of this rare disease that I grew up with I had several open heart surgeries in my child hood and in result I flunked one level grade and for the rest of my school years I had to take special educational classes with special accommodations. I always had accommodations such as extra time on test or more time on homework. With my disability and having ADHD all my life going to school was very difficult. My last surgery was back in 2009 because one of my valve’s froze and had to get it replaced so I couldn’t even take regular P.E. for two years. Another side affect was it affected my athletic ability and also had severe asthma so I couldn’t do sports. The name of the community college is called Victor Valley college. It’s a small college close to my house and I’m working and going full time to school. Now back to my question would the Ivy League schools of America reject a person like me?</p>
<p>Ivy League schools don’t care whether you’re disabled or not. I sincerely doubt that they in the business of entertaining sob stories either. </p>
<p>That being said, if your grades and essays are good, then you might get a boost from some sort of quota that they have in place. Though I have never heard of a cripple quota, so you are probably out of luck there too.</p>
<p>Anyways, if you couldn’t do sports in high school/college you probably had a ton of free time to flesh out your ECs and impress your professors, right?</p>
<p>If all you have going is your sob story, than good luck getting into any university decent, let alone the Ivy League.</p>
<p>@OP, your disabilities don’t preclude you from admission to Ivy League Schools. Work hard and keep your head up.</p>
<p>@Avareco, you are an immature jackass. Shut up.</p>
<p>@pcotten name calling is just as immature. Avareco has a right to his/her opinion regardless of whether you agree or not. However, I do believe Avareco could have been more sympathetic and not call the OP’s story a “sob story.”</p>
<p>@ssingh0247 what is your GPA at your community college? What was your high school GPA? What were your SAT and/or ACT scores?</p>
<p>The short answer is no</p>
<p>Assuming you have good grades, your condition could be an bonus factor. You would have a sign saying “look how much adversity I have and I still kicked butt” </p>
<p>Though, that won’t be as good as you may want. A lot of kids with other challenges have high gpa as well and you can’t just say I have x y and z challenge. That supercedes a b and c challenge. </p>
<p>If you want to get into an ivy, you need an immaculate gpa (this includes difficult majors such a stem), good personal essays, High standardized test ( minimum 2000 + sat, 30+ act) scores and remarkable ecs. Unfortunately, work isn’t considered remarkable. If you were a president of a club and work full, thats a better picture. </p>
<p>What’s your major though? Ivy leagues are re-known for education, but depending on your major, you could get a similar education for less money. Unless you’re looking for an ivy to foot the bill… but that’s none of my business </p>
