<p>As a yearbook editor, I overlooked a “joke” that another classmate had added to the index and let it be published. We both received suspensions: one day for me, and him, three days.</p>
<p>This happened after I had already been conditionally accepted and submitted the SIR.</p>
<p>How will a 1 day suspension affect my admissions? Will I be rescinded?</p>
<p>edit: I’m a high school senior</p>
<p>If I were you, and this really was not my fault AT ALL, I would actually take it up with the high school. Yes, as editor you are responsible for the content of the yearbook, but I’ve never heard of a high school publication that does not have a faculty advisor, who should have been the last one looking everything over before publication. </p>
<p>I have no idea how this will affect your acceptance, but I feel like if worst comes to worst, as long as you honesty explain the situation, you should be fine.</p>
<p>I purposely overlooked it as I didn’t think much of it so I’m still at fault.</p>
<p>Tried negotiating with the admins, but unfortunately the “joke” was interpreted differently than what he intended and counted as bullying.</p>
<p>My suspension notice says damaging school property and defying authority, since I knew about it and let it slide. (I was completely honest with them)</p>
<p>Our adviser and rep didn’t catch it as it was small and in the index.</p>
