<p>Ok well let me get started here. Near the end of my junior year I was suspended over allegations of me selling drugs on school grounds, which are HONESTLY false, but I was suspended nonetheless. I was never in possession of any drugs on school grounds, and the only "evidence" the school had was a parent who called and said I sold drugs to her son, a piece of paper I had with me that I used to work out how many pills I could buy (from the parents son, actually), and a fabricated witness. FWIW I also passed a drug test at the hospital 2 days after getting suspended, as per my dad's demands, heh... I did not do what they said I did (which was sell drugs at school), although I'm not completely innocent as I was using things from time to time but NEVER had anything or was under the influence of anything on school grounds. I was recommended for expulsion by my principal and eventually had a hearing with the school board where I presented my case, and they said they felt it was enough evidence to expel me, but they decided to give my a stay under certain conditions including mandatory drug testing this year, mandatory drug education classes(done those), and a "last chance" kind of education where ANY further disciplinary action will get me expelled on the spot.</p>
<p>This is pretty heavy stuff, I know. What I'm wondering is how this will affect my chances of getting into Chapel Hill (which is already a bit of a reach for me without this being factored in), as well as schools in general. I have a 1920 SAT score (and may take it a 3rd time), above a 4.0weighted GPA (unsure the exact number, but it's 4.1-4.4ish), no suspensions/detentions save the one above, have a few ECs (captain of wrestling team), 5 on AP psych and 4 on AP environmental exams last year plus taking AP chem and AP gov. and politics this year, and all my other classes have been honors since my freshman year. I'm also in state.</p>
<p>I MIGHT be able to squeeze out 40ish points on my SAT, but I think 2000+ is a bit out of reach for me. What do you guys think, and how much will that big mess hurt me? I was out of school for over a month and had to teach myself all of my classes (including the 2 APs) in addition to working full time(I wasn't paid) for my dad's friend who owns a trucking company. Honestly, I think that should show that I can balance the stress of potential expulsion, a full time job, and all of my classes WITHOUT teachers. I was still required to complete all of the classwork and homework when I was out of school awaiting the school board hearing, and when I got back I of course needed to make up all of the tests. I was also initially informed I wouldn't be able to take the AP exams so I didn't study for them, but when I got the results of the hearing they said I could. Both of my AP exams were the day after I came back.</p>
<p>Thanks, and you can save the drug lecture, lesson learned. Believe me.</p>
