<p>Hi College Confidential,
I am currently a Junior In High school and I wanted to know if I had a chance at a few colleges I'm looking into.</p>
<p>before I go into my scores and ECs, I wanted to first say that I was suspended for fighting near the end of 1st semester this year (It was self defense but the school has a Zero tolerance for fighting), and the suspension lasts for 1 semester out of school. The records are going to be temporary and it will be hidden from colleges, but they will still know that I transferred to a different school. before the suspension I was a very poor student and did not do very will in classes. This experience turned my life around, even though it feels like it is too late I am trying very hard in school and I hope to go to a decent college. But because of the suspension My grades last semester dropped from a 3.4 to a 2.7. As of now (second semester) I am getting a 4.0. (I might be able to retake two classes from 1st semester and raise my 1st semester GPA to a 3.3 but I am still unsure if my GC will let me do that.)</p>
