<p>Biggest issue is that I was suspended for accidentally bringing a weapon to school Sophomore year but I confessed to it and was actually given less than the minimum punishment. I have no idea what impact this has but I plan to make sure to be as apologetic about it as possible. </p>

<p>My backups are UGA and Georgia State if I don't make it here.
Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Is the fact you brought a weapon to school going to show up on your high school report? You need to know exactly what information is going to the schools. Then you need to explain it.</p>

<p>It only shows that I was at the Alternative School for 1 day as I was still technically enrolled at my high school. Otherwise nothing else will show up. I decided to just take the honest route to be safe and hopefully receive mercy.</p>

<p>It will be raised by your counselor in their report. I would contact an admission rep at Tech; explain your stupidity and why it will not happen again. I would address it in the additional info section. Tech will find out about it and being truthful now will go a long way in demonstrating you have gained new maturity. </p>
