<p>For college admissions, would a deaf or hard-of-hearing applicant have a higher or lower chance of getting admitted or do colleges not take disabilities into consideration at all?</p>
<p>There’s no institutional imperative to recruit/add people of that category. I’d say no advantage/disadvantage.</p>
<p>BTW: forum ettiquette: please entitle your posts more definitively like " Deaf student admission preferences?"</p>
<p>I agree with T26E4, unless you mention you are hard of hearing the college will not know. You might want to talk with people in the disabilities office before applying to schools to make sure you will be able to get all the accommodations you need to be successful.</p>
