Yes. If you can afford it, it is good to know exactly what is up with yourself. Getting a diagnosis does not equal going on medication. You might end up NOT getting good grades all of a sudden one day and if you have that information, it will help you (and possibly professors) deal with the problems that your quirks can bring. Keep in mind that although this board deals with academics, ADD affects interpersonal relationships throughout your life so a diagnosis can be good to have. Good luck.
