<p>i have a friend and she has a little problem. i always knew she worked hard but she never got extremely good grades. she has about a 3.5 GPA. she always complained about concentration problems but everyone thought it was normal and nothing to be concerned about. well she got tested for ADD and it turns out she has it. she's been on medication since the beginning of this year (she is a senior) and has gotten awesome grades. she is upset because she knows she could have done better if people had paid attention to her earlier and if she had been on medication. is this something she should mention to admissions when submitting her application? will it help or hurt her?</p>
<p>I'd mention it briefly, If shes overcoming a difficulty that always looks good to colleges.</p>
