I am learning disabled, more specifically I have dyslexia and dysgraphia. I hold an undergraduate degree in Biology, a minor in Economics with an overall "B" GPA average. Recently I took the GMAT in the standard format (no extra time) and received a score of 94% on the verbal section and 14% on the quantitative section.
I have been employed by the United Nations overseas for about 4 and continue to be in a location that makes both having my learning disability reevaluated and taking the GMAT extremely difficult. ETS will not let me take the exam with extra time because my last evaluation was in the year of my matriculation into undergraduate school (10 years ago)
I wrote to several schools before applying and they all said just show that you can do math via other aspects of your application. i.e. courses you took - I said no problem as I have lots of quant classes like physics, chem, micro/macro econ etc.
I was not admitted to any schools.
I then applied to Masters in Finance school - good but not great - that I
did not get into but they wrote back saying we thing you have a great
application go apply to Wharton, Stanford ???
Are there any other dyslexic/dysgraphic people out there with similar
stories...and if so how did you succeed / or not ?
It seems each school will tell you yea you as a dyslexic student should not worry....but they are not really telling the truth.
