<p>P.S. Does my learning disability in math help my chances of admittance? It explains my low grades in math, which drag my GPA down.</p>
<p>you definitely have a shot. You’re probably a borderline applicant though so good luck! If you noted somewhere on your application that you have a learning disability maybe they’ll consider that? I’m not sure how that works.</p>
<p>my LD is not mentioned in my application itself, but it is noted in my letter of rec.</p>
<p>that should be fine then, hopefully they will read that!</p>
<p>Anymore insight? Anyone?</p>
<p>I’ll be a little more honest with you, it’s going to be tough. The average student accepted to Clemson is usually within the top 10% of their class. If you do have a learning disability, they will want to know that you are taking advantage of any services that your school provides, and by using those services, how you have improved.</p>
<p>I have a question too. My daughter has a 3.0 GPA but great SATS. 1420 CR+ M, 2090 total with three varsity letters and lots of music activities. Her chances?</p>
<p>It’ hard to tell. I had a 3.06 GPA in high school and actually was in the 48th percentile of my high school class. However I had a 35 on the ACT and my high school is one if not the best public school in the state of Masachusetts so that might have given me an advantage? So you’ve got a shot at admission but it’s hard to tell. It will probably depend on what major she’s applying for and the quality of applicants this year.</p>
