Profile: 2.49 GPA from ranked state school with well regarded professors. Taking the GRE in a month Majored in Economics, took other courses (Computer science, chemistry, bio, business classes..etc) Currently a research intern for a professor at Harvard University Reason for low GPA - I have a learning disability that I only recently decided to get checked out after hitting a new low post-undergrad. It's my fault, and I understand that I should have seen a psychiatrist sooner. Either way, I managed to 'pass' undergrad.. and regardless of my inability to perform well in school without therapy/meds.. I knew from the first economics course I took in UG that I wanted to pursue this all the way to the PhD level. My internship is pretty awesome, I am getting more experience in research than I have in any opportunity I took in UG. My question to everyone is: How can I make myself look appealing to admissions board members? Saying I have a learning disability and not proving that I am improving is quite difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, what chance would I have of getting in to Harvard (I know it's a long stretch) knowing that I am working under a professor in the legal department? Thanks!
