Suspended in middle school, will this affect me?

In 7th grade, I was suspended for one day for being an idiot. Although this was in middle school, I go to a 6-12 school. Does this mean I will have to put it down on my common app when they ask something like “Have you ever been suspended?”

Hahaha of course not

Really?

It shouldn’t. Your transcript should only be your high school years but the smart thing to do is to check with your school guidance counselor or college counselor. They can definitively tell you the answer. No one here can.

It probably won’t affect college admissions. But, it has already affected you. It has made you think, it has made you worry about the potential impact of your actions, and I would venture to guess that you have learned from it and won’t do whatever you did again. That’s what learning is all about sometimes, growth through mistakes.
