MomPhD, I do agree that a student with a learning disability ought to check with the disabilities office at each school. But even a student who does that will not know exactly what accommodations she will receive. In my opinion, the Princeton student thought she had a pretty good idea of what accommodations she’d get, because (if we believe her press release) her brother got those accommodations at Princeton.

I don’t think she’ll win her case, or even that she should necessarily win, but she appears to have done reasonable due diligence. Princeton wasn’t going to review her documentation until she enrolled, probably.
