<p>How long should this essay be? Is it suppose to be done more formally as an essay or can it simply be listed?</p>
<p>bump.</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>I would suggest a “brief” statement of explanation. Express remorse and the learned behaviour.</p>
<p>Usually you have to attach a separate statement.</p>
<p>If your HS guidance counselor is also reporting this infraction, let them also review your statement.</p>
<p>As long as it is a misdeamenor and not a “trend” is should not be a major issue.</p>
<p>My “D” had a one day suspension in 9th grade for a “silly” verbal altercation. She still had to address it in her apps due to the newer rules requiring the reporting of such ventures, as did her guidance counselor.</p>
<p>She was accepted everywhere she applied - attending UNC CH.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
