<p>Recently I was diagnosed as having ADHD, Anxiety and depression disorder this November. My parents told me to disclose this information as these mental disorders have a very large possibility of affecting my choices(Impacting GPA and test scores, extracurricular ) during high school. As a senior any medical help I receive will not change any numeric grade on my transcript. Will they look negatively on me if i disclose this ? am I supposed(mandatory) tell them about these diagnosis? What do you think will happen if I disclose this?</p>
<p>don’t bother – it won’t help you. </p>
<p>I think disclosing ADHD is fine, but i would not disclose the other two.</p>
<p>If you believe that informing them would be necessary to explain a deficit in your application, then you could ask your counselor to include such information in her letter or a supplemental letter that he/she could send to the schools.</p>
<p>However, I would avoid telling them about such disabilities unless absolutely necessary (ie. these disorders caused you to get poor grades in a class). Otherwise, you would be giving the colleges too much information, and they are trying to create classes with individuals capable of handling the stresses and academic rigor of college.</p>
<p>Same rule as for most supplemental information: don’t submit it, unless you need to.</p>
<p>Do not disclose. They can’t legally ask you for a reason – so don’t volunteer it. By disclosing it you are raising a red flag that says “this kid will cost us money”. </p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>No, it could hurt you.</p>
