<p>During my junior year of high school, I was suspended for a drug charge that had nothing to do with the school. Those charges got dropped and everything, but I still had to mention the suspension on my common app for colleges. So I went to my guidance counselor, and she told me to be as vague as possible so I wrote: In my junior year, I violated one of the code of conducts in the student handbook. I have not been subject to any other academic problems.. basically.
But now one of the colleges I'm applying to told me I have to send additional details on what happened and what I learned. But the charges are dismissed and it had nothing to do with the school. I'm going to my guidance counselor tomorrow, but she'll probably just leave it to me to expand on her vagueness (which I really don't mind, but could have been avoided if she had told me to explain in the first place)!
Do you think she would be able to call them?
Should I just write the explanation?
Help?
Please?</p>
<p>I was literally suspended for "scandalous activity". i was 20 miles away from the school in a different county. No affiliation with the school whatsoever. The school just had to be notified by the police according to New Jersey laws.</p>
