Need help on a tricky situation

Applying to College
1

<p>I am currently a junior thinking about where to apply for college but am confused about what schools will accept me due to a learning disability that was undiagnosed until the summer before my junior year. I have pretty severe ADHD but because i score so high on standardized and cognitive based tests it was never picked up. I actually had to completely relearn algebra this past summer because i had so many gaps due to the ADHD.</p>

<p>GPA at this point is 3.07 <em>UNWEIGHTED</em> this is after freshmen, sophomore, and the 1st semester of junior year. I took 3 Honors classes freshmen year, 4 Honors and 1 AP sophmore year. Averaged I have around a 2.7 GPA for those years. The first semester of junior year i got a 3.86 with 2 AP classes (AP Biology is two periods and intense at my school) and four honors classes and have been recommended for AP chemistry, AP physics, AP U.S. Gov, AP Statistics, AP english, and Honors Pre-calculus next year. 2040 on the SAT 31 on the ACT. 4 on the AP US history AP exam from sophomore year also. Does anyone have any advice on any colleges or how the diagnosis will effect a college admissions comitee's outlook on me?</p>

<p>you could explain it in your essays or additional info, but ADD and ADHD are really common. You can take medication to calm you down. I have many friends with these conditions and they did not really get a disability advantage in the admissions process. One of my friends did, but he also had turrets.</p>
