Pistolen – Colleges offer all kinds of support for LD students, some more than others. There are laws that require them to accommodate disabilities. Go to the websites of the colleges that interest you and search for “learning disabilities” or “learning differences” though the search function. You’ll be amazed.

Also wanted to mention a UC Berkeley student who was on this board a couple of years ago. Berkeley offers big time support to LD students; apparently she did reveal her LD and its impact on pre-diagnosis, pre-treatment and pre-accommodation grades, and it was her impression that the admissions office gave special consideration to people in her situation as a matter of policy. I’d check and make sure this is still in force before making decisions, but it certainly does offer some hope.
