You don’t need both eyes to read. Just shut one of them.</p>
<p>I think it’s a reach. Scores aren’t everything, though. There are students with less than average scores that do get accepted because of other factors. Write an amazing essay, and keep up good grades & EC’s.</p>
<p>Can you really get SAT accommodations for some for anxiety???</p>
<p>Can you get accommodations for being a very very slow reader?</p>

<p>haha oh well, Its too late now! I got into my top choice ED anyways :P</p>
<p>Yes, students get accommodations for those conditions. In the case of anxiety, it would require an evaluation and diagnosis by a psychiatrist or psychologist, corroborated by a learning evaluation. For the slow reader, it would require a full learning evaluation by a learning specialist. Then, the results of evaluations must be submitted to the College Board for approval.</p>
<p>OH BARBARA960</p>
<p>I WISH I KNEW THIS EARLIER.
I have slow reading issues, and focus issues, as in, even if someone next to me is erasing too hard or taping there foot, or circling their bubble, it WILL drive my mind away from the reading…</p>
<p>I already took my SATS, and Im a senior. When I take it at home with no distractions i get 2200, but when I took it at the place I got a 1790…</p>
<p>Is it too late for me to see a psychiatrist?
My family isn’t financially stable, which is why we haven’t seen one… because we are afraid I may have ADD and then have to pay for treatment</p>
<p>it’s too late for shrinks, this should have been done around 10th grade. sorry.</p>
<p>Multitasker… it’s never too late.</p>
<p>I can’t believe you are discouraging me to seek mental health treatment!!</p>
<p>Honestly, I have known my whole life something was wrong with me, it wasn’t until about two years ago that I realized I was actually right when I researched ADD and noticed that every single symptom matched up with me!</p>
<p>Coffee, I’m getting a weird vibe from you. Your past posts just don’t match up. Weird score discrepancies. Still applying to 16 schools, even though you say here you already got in to to your first choice school ED.Applying to Dartmouth and Penn with a 1790. Strange tales about stealing calculators, followed by denials. </p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Well I’d start a new page but I guess it couldn’t hurt if I just continued from someone else’s question. But do I go a shot at getting accepted the second round of early decision at GW???</p>
<p>-GPA: 3.5/4.1 (Weighing ALL Honors/AP Classes)
-SAT: CR 620 Math 720 Writing 690
-School doesn’t rank but our test scores are pretty high
-California Resident
-Visited Campus and Had Lunch With The Students (Not that it helps my chances but its always good to include i guess)
-My Extracurriculurs/Recs are solid maybe better–same thing with my essays</p>
<p>I don’t know if it helps but I got deferred from Tulane and Villanova and accepted to Northeastern and Hofstra on scholarships. </p>
<p>I guess that’s not entirely a lot of info but if anyone could give me some insight I’d appreciate it :)</p>
<p>I’m surprised by those deferrals. I think Tulane sends out thousands of free apps as a way to get their numbers up, then they defer a lot of qualified people because there are just too many applications.</p>
<p>I think you’d have a good chance ED2 at GW.</p>
<p>You do know that ED2 is binding, right? You’d have to withdraw from the other schools of you got in.</p>
<p>I am not sure of what you want me to say, you asked a question and I gave you my opinion based on experience, and what I was told by advisers before applying. They even said it really should be done at 9th grade and I was being generous. However, it strikes me that you only want to hear what you want to hear, so I can’t help you at all.</p>
<p>schmohawk … This account is used by 5 different people, as odd as that may seem. We’re cousins</p>
<p>By the way Multitasker; Not everyone’s parents loved them enough to get them help before 9th grade, even with obvious symptoms. I don’t even care about SAT accommodation. But for you to be so apathetic as to discourage a fellow human being treatment for a disorder whether through therapy or counseling, ect. is just repulsive in my opinion. Some people don’t get treatment until far into their life’s end, and by then what good is it to recognize a correctable situation? Their momentum and potential is lost by that point. Regardless, I will never take “it’s too late” as an answer; Better late then never.</p>
<p>coffee, you have issues. have a nice day.</p>
<p>I am a special ed teacher whose daughter is a freshman at GW and loves it. I just had to respond to your “close your eye” comment. Usually, with an issue like this it is neurological so closing one eye does not really help much. However, unless this student already has an IEP with accommodations/modifications (i.e. has been identified as a student NEEDING these on a regular basis) she really can’t have them on the SAT’s, etc. Nor, should she. I have seen so many parents try to get their children extra time for the SAT’s when their child has NEVER been identified in all the years they have been in school. Very few students get identified in high school. Most are picked up in elementary school or even pre-school. On the flip side, many students DO need the extra time but are too proud or too ‘sick of being sped’ that they opt out of everything, and hurting themselves in the process!</p>
