Hopes of Admission to Schools after Expulsion

<p>Throughout highschool i was a bright student. My gpa was a 92.5, SAT's were 2090, SAT2's were 750,800, and 700. </p>

<p>I went to Binghamton University out of high school and my grades were horrible there. Second semester I started pledging a frat which was pretty rough and took a big toll on me mentally and physically. During that sememster I also got into alot of trouble with the school and they wanted to suspend me for a year. I wanted to prevent this from happening so I tried to appeal this. The results were bad. The school changed there original suspension to Disciplinary Expulsion. </p>

<p>Since the summer I started attending a community college by my hometown and have been doing pretty well. My GPA here is a 3.73 and I made the deans list during Fall 2010 Semester. I am also part of the honors society here.</p>

<p>I am very independent and always get things done alone without much help from my parents. But I really need help in this area. I'm not sure what to do because I don't want to lie about Binghamton, but at the same time I feel like I won't be able to get into any schools. This is killing me inside because i am an intelligent person and won't except not going to college. My father passed away a few years ago and my family and I aren't exactly in the best financial spot so I need to make sure I am successful. I really hope the bad decisions at binghamton that I made won't stop me. Please Help and thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Write an essay explaining your prior misbehavior and what you have done since then to change your attitude. You’re clearly capable, and you just need to show admissions staff that what happened at Binghamton won’t happen again.</p>

<p>You don’t need to lie about your past. You need to show how you developed your personality since that occurence; your sense of ethics and your maturity.</p>

<p>Thanks guys! anyone out there been in the same situation as me and gotten into schools? or do you guys know of friends who did?</p>
