Was looking at the UMD review factors here and this one caught my eye “Learning Differences”
Despite significant challenges from ADHD/executive function/fine motor delay, my 2026 grad has a good GPA (handful of Bs). Some of the Bs were definitely due to organizational issues during early grades. Recommendations may be less that stellar also has a result.
He was not going to mention anything about ADHD on his application but now wondering if he should? Not sure if counselor will be saying anything. Thoughts from anyone who has been there/done that? School has lots of grade inflation so a handful of Bs are significant. Will be submitting single ACT sitting score of 34 and strong spring semester junior year grades.
