"Unusual" circumstances and admissions.

<p>dz, here is a thread in which posters address the question of revealing ADHD during the admissions process.</p>

<p>You will get several opinions, although most seem to lean against bringing this up in admissions. I don’t know the particularities of admissions enough to comment on whether it would help, although there are opportunities in the application to reveal unusual circumstances. (Usually a question about any additional information.) What I do want to comment on is the following: many universities have disability services offices that could help you deal with ADHD in relation to your academic work. These services are offered for students who face a variety of learning challenges. As you consider where you want to go to school, you may want to make sure your university or college will have services that help students with your particular needs.</p>
