Do Colleges account for disabilities when considering GPA
I have a good enough Gpa to have mostly A's and B+'s but some B. It's really hard to work on tests which is my kryptonite because I have a severe case of ADHD, homework and school assignments are good but can't raise my grade well enough to make my GPA where I need it to be. I am curious if colleges will account for something like this and what they'd do.
No yeah, It was lagging and I pressed the post button three times, kinda like when chrome won't open and you press it more.

Colleges legally aren't allowed to discriminate based on your disabilities, but they can reject you off other factors that are 'unrelated' to the ADHD. Really it just depends on the college, but i would try to find a way to show how you have worked to overcome ADHD and how it made you better. You could try to focus more on extracurriculars like work or clubs that aren't as affected as much by it, but also have a big impact on whether or not you get accepted.
Your chance of acceptance
Your chancing factors
