Applying to College
1

<p>i live in CA and came to US about 5 years ago from korea
my mother got remarried so i have my greencard
as i got into the highschool i planned to go to good university
so i studied hard and got all a in 9th grade
this year i am 10th and today i got caught smoking a tobacco with my friends
and sent to the dean and yea got suspended for 3 days
i am really worried that it will be affecting my university acceptance
besides there was a police in the campus he also gave me a ticket to go to the court
which is really cruel punishment compare to 2 day suspension in middle school for smoking
so my questions are
1: will it really ruin my profile?
like college will choose all b student than me because i got suspended?</p>

<p>2:since i got suspended from school and ticket from the officer
does that count as two seperate records?</p>

<p>3:is there anyway to clear the record of suspension or the ticket?</p>

<p>4:i want to go to law school and become a prosecutor will this record of violation of the law
affect in any way?</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>it’ll probably affect you some way… in my opinion it should anyway… but whatever, i’m no expert</p>

<p>Relax - smoking a tobacco is not a big deal in admissions but may kill you someday if you don’t stop…</p>

<p>Just tell the truth and you will likely amuse more than concern the reader.</p>

<p>As for the ticket - I have never seen a question on any application that asked if you were even given a ticket…</p>
