<p>Hello all, I'm new to CC and the forums. I've had dyscalculia for as long as I can remember. For every standardized test I've ever taken my verbal and writing scores were off the charts and my math was abysmal. I went to the kind of elementary school where they never noticed anything about their students and just passed everyone along. I learn from an early age how to hide this and "scrape by." Back then there was no such thing as an LD.</p>
<p>Fast forward til now and I've had my BA in Psychology for almost 3 years now. I recently have made the decision to apply to Graduate School. The thing that was holding me back when I first graduated were the GREs, they did not allow a calculator back then, and I saw no point in humiliating myself with awful scores. Now, everything is changed with the Revised GREs and I feel that I might actually have a chance in getting decent scores in the Quantitative section and getting accepted.</p>
<p>My only hang-up now is do I disclose my LD to the admissions? Would I look like an idiot because its undiagnosed? Also, psychology PhD and Master's programs require a lot of statistics, which I am OK at as long as I have a ton of notes and a freakin calculator, but they will see my horrible grades at stats and think twice that I will be able to handle the research. Also, my bad stats grades affected my GPA, and its a 3.11 (I know, I know.) </p>
<p>Any advise for those with LDs in graduate programs please.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
