Expulsion, Game Changer

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>Hello College Confidential,</p>

<p>It's near the end of my second semester of my Junior year in high school. A week ago, an incident occurred that will result in my expulsion (because the expulsion process takes so long). I go to a public school. After much discussion with my family, I have decided to take the CHSPE, then attend a community college, and finally transfer to a university, hopefully one better than I would have normally been able to attend had I taken the traditional route.</p>

<p>I've taken almost all AP's and Honors classes throughout my high school career (the only non-honors classes I've taken are College Prep English 11, PE, French, Journalism, etc.)</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>3.57 unweighted GPA (I don't know what will happen to 2nd sem. junior grades)</p>

<p>2080 SAT</p>

<p>720 Bio (took as a freshman)</p>

<p>waiting on May USH</p>

<p>Contemplating whether or not I should bother with the June SAT2's (I had planned on taking math 2 and physics)</p>

<p>307 community service hours</p>

<p>Was supposed to be Editor-in-Chief for the school's online journalism program (for senior year)</p>

<p>Was supposed to be head of the photo commission in ASB (for senior year)</p>

<p>Editor of Photography for journalism</p>

<p>Boy Scout SPL for 6 months, current ASPL</p>

<p>(almost) Eagle Scout</p>

<p>Took the AP Psych, Physics, and USH tests. Will these be counted at all?</p>

<p>I'm wonderring how my unfinished second semester grades will look to whichever university I decide to transfer to. I will be suspended until a school board hearing is scheduled (which will take two to three weeks, just one week before school is out). I've emailed all my teachers, but I won't be able to take any tests. </p>

<p>Do any of you have experience with the expulsion process? Know anyone who was expelled?</p>

<p>I just don't want my screwed-up second semester grades to come back to haunt me when I apply to transfer.</p>

<p>This experience has been a major game-changer for me, as well as an opportunity to look at my life from a different perspective. I've taken the expulsion as a blessing in disguise; a way to get ahead of the game. </p>

<p>My expulsion was a shock to the entire school. Not only do I have to face the school board regarding the incident, but I also have to face the criminal justice system. I did not steal, nor did I commit any violent acts.</p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>PS: I posted a similar thread in the "Transfer Students" board, but I didn't get all my questions answered, and I think this may be more related to "High School Life". If this is considered spam, then please delete this thread.</p>

<p>It’s amazing how you’re able to stay positive and view the expulsion in a better light, it shows your mental maturity. Why then, are you getting expelled? </p>

<p>I think your plan to go to a CC and then transfer is reasonable, but I am not like an expert or anything on this. Best of luck</p>

<p>I read this to find out what you got expelled for, tbh.</p>

4

<p>Drug-related, I assume? I’m curious now.</p>

5

<p>I don’t really want to talk about it online. I don’t want this to haunt me ten years from now when I’m trying to find a job.</p>

6

<p>Telling us why won’t haunt you at all dude</p>

7

<p>If you go to cc for 2 years, I don’t think hs grades even are requested at that point</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure most of the people read this to hear the story.</p>

<p>@VAM, a lot of privates require HS transcripts/SAT scores when transferring.</p>

<p>@Calculus, it’s a long story. And idk, don’t these threads get archived? and if people look up my standard username (alexyoung123) it may show up.
If you REALLY want to know, PM me or something.</p>

<p>Can anybody help me? Where should I post for the most help?</p>
