I just got an email from act.org on my MCAT request for time and a half. I was denied, I'm shocked as I have been diagnosed with ADD, and Dyslexia since I was 8. I went to a private school specializing in educating Dyslexics (Charles Armstrong) for two years. Repeated a grade in junior high, the entire time I would have extra time on tests. Then went to a public high school had time and a half on tests, got a 3.9, had extra time on the SAT. My verbal was well below my Math, and was accepted to UC Berkeley. I graduated in 5 years taking a reduced class schedule at some points, and having extra time on all Exams.
I am currently at a Post Bac program, and just had my Psychoeducational testing re-done. I submitted my request for extra time. Two days before the dead line (could this be a reason why?) And I just got denied. I'm completely stunned, I was unsure if I was going to take the April Test. I know I will not now.
I am going to resubmit my request.
But my question is has anyone had anything similar happen to them? And resubmitted and gotten accepted for extra time?
"Scores on the enclosed evaluation and history both indicate significant strength in academic performance. Therefore, we are unable to provide the requested changes and modifications to the standard administration procedures of the MCAT." From the email I received.
I'm not sure what I should do? Besides study like crazy for the April test.
