ADHD diagnosis

Hello

I have recently (last week) got diagnosed with ADHD and was wondering if this would have had an effect on my university offers? I already received all of them back (applied for 2024), but was curious to know if this would have had any impact on grades required etc.
Thanks :smile:

The fact that you have had such a late diagnosis may mean that you didnt have the extra educational help you needed, and this may impact your eventual grades. This means a Uni may give you extra consideration in August if you miss your offer grades.

Its worth looking at the 'Mitigating Circumstances' process for all your Unis - or certainly the ones you intend to make F&I - there will be info on their websites. Some Unis will require you/your school to complete a specific form, others may just accept an emailed letter from your school. Look on the website and if you can't find the info, just phone/email the Uni and ask.

Its important to do all of this asap. Many Uni have a cut off date when they will no longer accept this sort of 'evidence'.
