<p>Hey, I have a learning disability (ADD) and I was wondering if that will help recompensate for my low ACT score? I got a 25, and I was wondering if the admission counselors will take my learning ability into consideration when reviewing my standardized test scores. Thanks</p>
<p>I think people like to use disabilities like this because they got a low score not because their disability caused it but that's my 2 cents</p>
<p>I think depending on the extent of your learning disability it could be taken into account. But I wouldn't gauge on that. I have a friend with autism who still rocked on the SAT's (1580 on the old one). You shouldn't use it as an excuse though if its not debilitating.</p>
<p>see, well autism and ADD are two completely different things. people with autism are for the most part extremely smart (e.g. Einstein, Da Vinci, etc.). i agree with trader, but i wasnt diagnosed with add until i was in the 10th grade. after being diagnosed (and with the help of self hypnosis, diet, and medication) my grades skyrocketed. thanks everyone.</p>
<p>I was just giving an example. But I would definitely include that in your application somewhere.</p>
