Well not too long ago I was doing very poorly in college. I was a few bad grades away from flunking. I swallowed my pride and told my doctor that I had trouble concentrating. He diagnosed me with ADHD and immediately began treatment. I experienced a turn around immeditaely. I began excelling in all of my courses. My question is when ADCOMS ask me about my poor grades should I tell them about my ADHD diagnosis?

As long as you have demonstrated academic excellence, it's fair to mention the ADHD. I have a relative with it and he struggles mightily.

What was your treatment?

I see. He prescribed some pills that turned me into a zombie long enough for me to get a lot of studying done.
