<p>It is my understanding that the most elite colleges do not give leeway for physical or mental disabilities but will accomodate those who do make it through the admissions hurdle. The Brooke Ellison story is a testament to how much Harvard is will to do to accomodate a physically handicapped student. But her stats and accomplishments were right up there for admissions purposes.</p>
