<p>I have already submitted my apps to Denver, Arizona, and Georgia and in all 3 i mentioned something about my struggle with ADHD... i dont know if this is the right thing to do.. all i have left is Univ of Texas at AUstin the one i care about the most and there is an option to submit a special circumstance letter. Would it be a good idea to include my ADHD or do i have a better chance if i steer clear from mentioning it???

<p>it's a good idea. My cousin has ADHD and he has always struggled with it. He started out as a B student in the begining of high school--yet he eventually became top 5 with outsaaaaaanding grades from there on out. Currently, he attends John's Hopkin's University. His family physician wrote a great reccomendation about how he's seen my cousin grow, mature, and preservere despite adhd.</p>
<p>It's the ability to overcome adversity that shines in the view of adcoms... at least, that's what i think...</p>
