Need help - do we disclose or not

<p>The only score that jumps out at me is the very low essay score. This will absolutely affect her. </p>

<p>I do not think that you should write a statement about this. Since it has not affected her dramatically in an academic sense, I think it would look as if you were making excuses. If her english teacher is writing a rec, ask him or her to mention her trouble writing under timed circumstances, and the reason for this difficulty (documented ADD). You can also get the GC to let the college know in a way that isn't obtrusive. </p>

<p>I think the most important thing is to make sure her essay is fantastic. I would also suggest a rec from an english teacher, so that this is further backed up. Colleges recognize that some students have trouble writing while timed.</p>
