Would it be an appropriate use of the "is there anything else you would like to tell us about your application" to discuss not needing accommodations for a hearing loss or just further expounding on it? Services like real time captioning can cost the school 100k a year, and there has been some protracted battles between some hard-of-hearing students and med schools in the past: National Association of the Deaf - NAD . I don't know if this actually plays any consideration into the process, and the technical standard statement exists, so would this just be a waste of space or inappropriate?
Using the "anything else" essay to talk about hearing loss?
- Thread starter fandl
- Start date
"anything else" is generally for explaining oddities on your app (a glaringly bad semester or two, disciplinary actions, etc.). Things like disabilities and their accommodations don't need to be brought up until you start school somewhere (of course you can talk about them in your essays, etc. if you so choose, but you don't have to bring them up until you're already in).
