Oh no!! Just found out I didn't have to report this...

<p>I had an in school suspension that I reported to ALL of my colleges under the disciplinary section. The whole thing went down sophomore year and it was for truancy, for a day. </p>

<p>I emailed my counselor early december (which admittedly was during break) asking if I absolutely had to report it, and never got a response. To be safe, I ended up reporting it. She told me yesterday that there was no need to, and that SHE didn't report it on her counselor letter thingy. </p>

<p>GAHHH I'm so mad because if she had replied I wouldn't have had this strike against me, but I'm also mad for being too damn embarassed to ask her earlier in person. Do you think I should try to call colleges and request that they take out that part of my application? How big of a strike is it against me to have this on there? Especially considering that I didn't even have to report it (grumble grumble)</p>

<p>I really need help here. I'm so bummed.</p>

<p>Hah, they probably won’t care at all. ISS is not a big deal. Disciplinary action is a real suspension. ISS, just like a detention, is rarely reported by counselors, unless it’s a regular occurrence.</p>

<p>One ISS, sophomore year, and for truancy of all things, will not matter. Thumbs up for your honesty though. If you included a reasonable explanation for that truancy, you’re fine!</p>

<p>I would actually think that’s a plus: One for your honesty, and Two for your rebellious nature. You’re not a nerd machine that does everything when told to. Good for you!</p>

<p>really? wow that makes me feel a lot better lol. thanks guys!</p>

<p>This is an article the college counselor (nationally recognized, I think) at my school wrote about disciplinary action and college admissions, and I hope it will be helpful. A bunch of people got violations/suspensions at the beginning of the school year due to two large parties getting busted. </p>

<p>hello, I was wondering if I have to report a tardy detention and if I don’t have to will my GC have to tell the colleges? btw I have 4.0 unweighted and am number 27 in the nation for junior triathletes. What are my chances for Yale or Stanford?</p>

<p>You don’t have to mention anything about a detention. The GC is not going to report a detention to a college.</p>
