no, I don’t think so. But remember, I’m sure that there are some students with dyslexia in top schools as well other disabled students. You can write about your disability in your essay as I did. For example, I’m deaf and I wear cochlear implant, but I have been accepted into MIT early action and I will go to there this fall. Your math score is quite good, and your history, CR, and W are understandably low since you’re an international if english is not your first language. I would think you might have to take TOEFL and petition for time accommodations before you test next time.

But don’t give up! You have a chance to get into MIT, Yale, etc if you have the stats and show your interest in math and sciences (for MIT). Keep in mind that admissions for international students are extremely competitive, more so than domestic students. Good luck!
