How to respond to a penalty of deferred suspension?

[WayOutWestMom]

<p>The above information^^^ is just plain wrong.</p>

<p>AMCAS Instructions to Applicants 2015 states on page 28 re: Institutional Actions:</p>

<p>

You must answer ‘Yes’ even if the action does not appear on or has been deleted from your official transcripts due to institutional policy or personal petition.</p>

<p>If you answer Yes, you must briefly explain each instance, along with the date(s) of occurrence (MM/YYYY). Your response may be up to 1325 characters or approximately one-quarter of a page in length.</p>

<p>Failure to provide accurate information in answering this question or, if applicable, in completing the form provided by the school, will result in an investigation.

<p>Most secondary applications (which are school-specific) will also ask about IAs as well as any and all arrests and convictions. Students are required to disclose these— even if the incident has been sealed (as in a juvenile record) or, in some cases. legally expunged. </p>
