<p>I have been told that disclosing ADHD diagnosis should only be done if it shows how you have improved since diagnosis- I was diagnosed freshman year and my GPA has remained same 4.27 GPA (weighted )3.85(unweighted) but my testing is hit and miss - though I have good ACT score 30 and ok SAT score 1900 I did not focus and do well on my AP tests (on 3 of my AP tests I got score 2 and my 4th AP test is only score 3) . AP tests at UC colleges are not mandatory but I was informed that they prefer you to report low scores if you took the class rather than not report at all. I also took 3 SAT II tests but those scores are not good at all (480-550) so I am not reporting those at all. I have very good EC's, very good volunteer/community service, and played 2 varsity sports for 4 years.
So my question is would it be any help/benefit to my UC application to disclose my ADHD diagnosis( possibly shed some light on the low AP scores etc) or is it best to not disclose my ADHD diagnosis since it wouldn't be much of a benefit and might be more of a liability(not worth the risk of disclosing )?
Please respond as I am very confused on this and I don't know whether to disclose my ADHD diagnosis or not.
Thank you very much</p>
