<p>Ok so I potentially am about to get accused of the use of marijuana. Because they did a random drug test and It might be in my system. This would be the first thing I’ve ever done wrong in school in my life, but policy states they have to suspend me a certain number of days and report it to the police is the police decide to accuse me of use of illegal substances but I am found not guilty due to the fact that I never gave the school permission to drug test me (which is required at my school) would that still go on my records that colleges could see. Becuase I am a straight A, national honor society, junior class rep, tennis team member, student council member, future business leaders of america member, volunteer with american cancer society, relay for life, susan g komen society, and humane society. I was planning on going to MIT which I could easily accomplish with my 30 ACT score (which I am going to bring higher) and High SAT score, but I don’t want this one incident ruining everything.</p>
<p>NeedingAdvice-first, brethe. You are looking at worst case scenarios. Give it a few days and see how the school reacts. Be contrite and cooperative with the school, but let your parents know NOW that you have been tested and that you may be facing school and legal problems. Work on a plan with them. Bite the bullet now and let them know. They may want to consult a lawyer, a drug counselor, etc. </p>
<p>As for MIT, who knows? No one here can tell you with certainty if you will still be able to get into MIT, because no one here can tell ANYONE with certainty that they will get into MIT.</p>
<p>P.S. </p>

<p>This subject comes up quite a bit on nursing forums. Apparently, entities such as boards of nursing get more information than an employer would get on a normal background check. They are privy to everything, even “sealed” or “expunged” offenses. This gets confusing for folks who apply to sit for boards or for their license. They think “expunged” means “never happened.” For employment purposes yes, for licensing purposes, NO. They must be admitted and explained. People who answer “no” to those questions can be denied the opportunity to sit for board exams and the state licensing board can deny their license due to “dishonesty.” It can get complicated.</p>
