I think I have a learning disability when it comes to math?

You can get help with math in college or you could get a tutor, trust me, math is hard for everyone not you, if there was a disability 90% of Americans would have it

I concur with Alice.

First, to get any accommodations, you'll need a professional diagnosis. "I think I have dyscalculia and some experts on Y!A concur!", won't get you the accommodations. Self-diagnosis can be important place to start, but it can also be a bad thing. Math is hard for many people without a disability. If you believe that you have one, and you actually don't, you may give up to easily. "I have ______, so I can't do math." Even with a learning disability, you *can* learn, differently, to do calculations. So, go see an educational psychologist. If you do indeed have a learning disability, then the college will make accommodations. It won't get you out of their general ed requirements.

you can get some accommodations such as use of notes, calculator, extra time.. you should consider taking the class online at any college and then transferring it to the college you want to go to....you can accommodate yourself at home...use notes, advanced calculator, even a tutor to coach you through the tests look up dyscalculia--but if you can get through basic math...it might not be

Well, I've believed myself to be one of those. My SAT scores were ridiculous...85th percentile in the reading/writing portion of the thing (before scoring was changed!) and 2nd percentile in the math section. I would have done better just to put my name on the paper and walk out. Too many people try to game the system and fake a learning disability, so generally colleges are less apt to believe you if you don't have a paper trail established early on in your school career. You will still have to take math courses, but you might be able to "cheat" a little bit. I had to take a statistics course, but the first class scared the living bejesus out of me...I'd been relegated to "consumer math" in high school, and they were throwing Greek symbols up on the board with comments like "Ok, I know this is totally obvious, but this is just review...." I ran screaming to my advisor, and I got enrolled in a Sociology course instead which was about designing surveys and pulling data from them, thus fulfilling the statistics requirement. It wasn't a cakewalk, but it beat the heck out of business statistics, that's for sure! If you're majoring in any of the sciences, I don't see an easy way for you to avoid mathematics requirements. My spouse was CompSci major and it was required that he minor in Mathematics.
