<p>My friend was suspended from school for 2.5 days because he was told to leave the library and he left, but first he dropped his pants (boxers stayed up). he already got into the University of Michigan and paid his deposit, but now he is worried that his application might get rescinded. How likely is this/ what can be done to prevent it?</p>
<p>its actually possible...have your friend call umich and apologize saying that it was an immature and dumb thing to do, but dont BEG.</p>
<p>wow, what an idiot.</p>
<p>yeah its pretty possible.</p>
<p>This...umm "friend" is not in danger of losing acceptances. Colleges don't care about childish behavior like that.</p>
<p>that's really funny</p>
<p>unfortunately i have no insight in answering your question, how does he expect michigan to find out?</p>
<p>My daughter stayed so clean in high school because I told her everything and anything she did bad would cause her college placement. It worked pretty well, but it's not true. </p>
<p>Find out from you GC if it would be reported (I doubt it), if so then write to them (I don't think they would care). I hope your friend was wearing clean boxers.</p>

<p>Your friend, huh? Then why are you posting...</p>
<p>Methinks that the original poster is the "Friend" that he/she is describing...</p>
<p>hahah thats funny as hell. props to your friend</p>
<p>This will have no impact on his admission. Rest assured.</p>
<p>^ showing everyone boxers won't affect your chances? Maybe......</p>
<p>I know a lot (unfortunately) about what bothers admissions folks in terms of errant behavior by high schoolers. This does not make the list.</p>
<p>Senior "pranks" that don't really hurt anyone or anything, eh</p>
<p>And when you consider how many pairs of boxers we have seen just walking down the street, or in HM, (HATE those saggy pants) it ain't no big ewww</p>
<p>this will not matter. What will is if someone gets arrested or expelled. think about it this way, most of admissions is from the generation that started streaking. no one cares.</p>
<p>Hell, most of the boys in my class reveal their boxers at least once in their classes, intentional or not</p>
<p>^^^ LOL!! I am constantly telling boys to pull up their pants in class!</p>
<p>I don't think this will be an issue. I can't believe your school would bother to call the school & tell them.</p>
<p>I believe even the common app asks whether the student applicant has ever been disciplined at the suspension level or above. Likewise, admissions offer letters usually state that the offer can be rescided for disciplinary infractions - - and the final report/transcript (with your May/June grades) also asks the guidance counselor whether there have been any intervening disciplinary infractions.</p>
<p>Also, one of the most explicit offer letters I ever saw was from UMich (engineering) - - get less than a B in the math/sci course in which you're enrolled and offer likely to be rescinded.</p>
<p>And I am unaware of any "middle ground" with disciplinary infractions. With academ problmes, the college always has the option of admitting the student, but immed placaint him/her on academ probat. I don't think that's an option for disciplinary problems.</p>
<p>If the student is already accepted, he doesn't need to amend his common app to reflect the suspension! There is a place on the final school report for reporting disciplinary action. The school would check off "yes" on the final report. There is actually no place to expound on the action. There are other places where the official rates the student, and I suspect that if the student got a low rating on character --- or if the official did not check off the box for recommending without reservation --- eyebrows might be raised. I guess the bottom line is that it COULD be a problem. I suppose the student could call the school & ask if he's worried.</p>

You know, most kids have managed to pick up an enemy or two along the way in HS. It's not unknown for them to turn someone in.</p>
<p>foolishpleasure- you are simply wrong. There is LOTS of middle ground. Even a senior year alcohol violation is unlikely to affect admissions. I don't think you really understand how much stuff happens in senior year of high school. Colleges expect a certain amount of these issues, and this one is about as minor as you can get.
As I said, I know what I'm talking about here.</p>
