Was recently diagnosed. Basically, my college history is a hit or miss trainwreck. Does diagnosis help anything? Is there anything that can be done about past grades and suchlike?

Get yerself to Disability Services on your Campus, i guess.

Maybe they can help you with some AEGROTAT marks for your worst course marks (e.g. "PASS" or "CR" is put on transcript instead of "50", etc.)

Aegrotat Standing is sometimes given when a student has been sick.




You'd likely need Testing paperwork to PROVE brain dysfunction for that sort of Academic Appeal.

Yes being signed up with the disability office does help.

The accommodations your counselor and you devise really help.

I am not sure about past grades.

I know my past grades are not averaged into my gpa. only the ones I have taken there. and I am a tranfer student.

Being diagnoses helps in the way you know hat you are dealing with , then the

medication helps you focus and the therapy you learn new ways to deal with

new skill and work on self esteem and work on the moving forward to the

furture.

I'm very new to this forum but I totally understand you Cgrey. I am in fact in that same boat. But i'm not even sure if I have ad/hd or anything. Just seems like I do. Ppl always joked about it with me but I really didn't take it seriously until I've been cornered like I am now...

If at all possible, take community college classes to boost your GPA. This is an issue for me b/c I want to go to law school but my college grades are shot so I need to give admissions something else to look at.

If you go to school in CA, assist.org should help.
