<p>My is a junior this year. he has ADHD and the grades to reflect it. GPA of 2.8 but in challenging classes. (APUS Hisotory, LAtin Honors) However he is a talented Tenor Sax player who will be applying to Jazz Studies Programs next year. I don't think he'll do well on the SAT's. What are opinions about whether he should discuss his ADHD in his college essay as a reflection of why his grades are funky?</p>
<p>He should ask his music teachers about this, and you may want to ask this question in the music majors sub-forum. [Music</a> Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/]Music”>Music Major - College Confidential Forums) Admission in the arts can be much more dependent on the audition or portfolio than it is on the grades or exam scores. Depending on his particular list, grades and exam scores may not even come into play at all.</p>
