Will adhd affect my chances of getting into medical school because i feel like doctors can't have adhd because who wants a doctor with addh right ?

No.: Of course not but it will make it harder for you because there is a lot to learn. I have several friends who are physicians with add/adhd and are quite successful. You may need to learn ways to get around your add/adhd. A colleague became obsessive about creating study periods to get through medical school.

Not so.: If treated appropriately and your grades are good and have a well rounded background with much to offer, it does not matter what a person's illness is as long as it is not hindering function. And it is a private matter per HIPAA and your civil rights. You cannot be discriminated against because of a chronic illness. Take care and wish you the best!
