Educating Mom

Picking a college is a big step, but not too big for an independent young woman.


My daughter will not be going to UC Berkeley this fall. When I broached the idea of applying to my beloved alma mater, she couldn't have been clearer. "I'm sorry, Mom," she said, gently patting my hand, "but it's not my kind of school."

Not her kind of school? What did that mean? That the crown jewel of the University of California was too urban and overwhelming for her? That she didn't want to attend a campus lauded for its protest politics and Nobel laureates? Or maybe, I thought in a brief flash of enlightenment, she simply wasn't interested in attending the same college as her mother?

Can my child with a disability get testing accommodations for the SAT?

Yes, but you must apply.

From College Board:

Information about testing with accommodations on the SAT

To take the SAT with testing accommodations, students with disabilities must be approved for accommodations by the College Board’s Services for Students with Disabiltities. See Applying for Accommodations for more information. The following information explains many of the details about accommodations on the SAT.
Once a student is approved by the College Board for accommodations, how can he or she register for the SAT?

When a student requests accommodations for College Board tests, he or she receives an SSD Eligibility Code. The student must use this code when registering for the SAT. If registering by mail, the student should include a copy of the Student Eligibility Letter in the envelope with the SAT registration form. For more information, please visit SAT registration.
