Our kid had a more conventional transcript, although certainly fewer honors/AP classes than would have made sense without the LD, and decided not to disclose. The college seemed perfectly happy to find out about the LD after he was accepted, and directed him to the LD support office when there were questions about applying for accommodations. There did not seem to be any expectation that he should have revealed the LD earlier, or negatives coming from the college in the face of the post-acceptance revelation. Also, his hs guidance office has a relationship with this college admissions office, and clearly S’s decision not to disclose – which was supported, although not suggested, by the GC – was not something the hs thought could damage that relationship.
