Hello all,
I am extremely frustrated with the education system. So, I am dyslexic (something that never goes away) and I wanted to apply for accommodation or modifications. I got all my paperwork together from public school records, when I got tested, the results, etc. LSAT said that I needed more and had to get retested in the lsat 5 years to see if “I was still dyslexic” Well… the test is $1,300+ and I can’t afford that.
I wanted to get your opinion. On my diversity statement I am explaining my dyslexia journey a bit. I wanted to add a short sentence pretty much saying, “Unfortunately, due to financial reasons I was not able to retest for dyslexia and got denied Accommodations for the LSAT” Because if I only say I am dyslexic, they’ll assume I did get Accommodations. Since,LSAC doesn’t release this info to law schools due to privacy for students with learning disabilities.

I agree with banana
“Unfortunately, due to financial reasons I was not able to retest for dyslexia and got denied Accommodations for the LSAT”
I think you can explain this in an LSAT addendum rather than a diversity statement. For a diversity statement, the focus should be more about how your circumstances helped shaped you and I think talking about not being able to get accommodations for the LSAT may distract from that.
