Hi all,
I'm contemplating applying to business school. Currently a senior software engineer for a well-known technology company, with people reporting to me.
Early on in life, I was diagnosed with mild autism/ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) which has always affected my academic and social performance to some degree. Nothing too severe, like 'Rain Man' but enough to be classified and diagnosed as a disability.
Should I highlight or even mention this in my application? In the eyes of the admissions committee, would it be a plus (overcoming a handicap) or would it be a minus (possible worries about not being able to deal with the coursework)
BTW, my overall undergrad GPA was around 3.3, not the best of course but it was at a top 10 private school. It was a bit higher in my major (math/computer science). Haven't taken GMAT yet.
Thanks for any advice!
