<p>well i got an in house suspension for cheating during sophmore year. It was for someone copying my lab paper, they were in my lab group. I know its wrong and haven't gotten into any trouble since then. I am now a senior Will this effect my chances of getting into UCI or UCSB.</p>
<p>My gpa unweighted is 3.48 and weighted is 3.65</p>
<p>My SAT score is 1930 and my SAT2 is still pending.</p>
<p>Thank You</p>
<p>Yes it will. Talk to your counselor and try to have it removed from your permanent record. If not, have her, as well as yourself, explain the circumstances around it and how you have learned from the experience and changed.</p>
<p>It will make many schools impossible unless properly addressed. </p>
<p>Honestly, though, UCI and UCSB are reaches even without this suspension.</p>
<p>Cheating = death. It just pollutes the whole well. If I took a drop of poison into a bucket of water would you still drink it? You get the point, listen to dkwunw’s comments</p>
<p>I don’t know man… I mean there is no such thing as a “permanent record.” Trust me, it won’t haunt you for life, unless you become like some kind of celebrity and they go back to check your high school records. I mean, if they say it will go on your record, they probably just mean that they will send it off to the colleges when you apply. Maybe you should consider transferring to another high school.</p>
<p>Maybe you can have a letter of rec. from a teacher that can explain that you once used to be bad but now have blossomed into an intelligent, mature, intellectual.</p>

<p>I might be wrong, but I thought your cumulative file (follows you from the moment you first step into kindergarten) would also be sent to any school you transfer.</p>
<p>I would have to say those schools were alreadly unlkiely just based on stats. I’d apply lower down the UC food chain.</p>
<p>He’s right^^^</p>
<p>If you have to, just try your best for what you want, and apply to some lower schools. Try to transfer out eventually.</p>
