Suspension After Effects

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm a sophomore at Monte Vista High School in California and I've regularly gotten in trouble through middle school. Basically today I got suspended for "arguing" not that it was so severe but because I have been getting in trouble so often, (for pretty much minor things) and my VP wanted to lay down the law. I'm interested in going to some California State University, most likely SDSU. How does this affect my chances? Also, my VP offered the option of an in-school-suspension is this any better? I am working to try to get the suspension lifted is this possible?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Almost no effect. The CSUs admission is very numbers based. Just do well on your SAT/GPA and you should be fine. </p>

<p>SDSU is a little harder to get into, but the suspension should also have little effect.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Is there an appeal process? “Arguing” doesn’t sound to me like very justifiable cause for suspension.</p>

<p>Otherwise I would say take the in-school suspension if you have the option, that way you can still keep up on school work.</p>

<p>You’ll have write a supplemental essay / letter explaining it when you apply to colleges, but I wouldn’t worry greatly about it.</p>

<p>I would try to figure out why you keep getting “into trouble,” as this could escalate, especially if your school decides you’re a troublemaker. If your folks need to get involved to help you sort this out and figure out how to stop getting into trouble, please enlist them as well.</p>

<p>You need to speak to the VP and ask if you could get detention instead of suspension.
This would keep it off any permanent record.
School officials don’t want to hurt your chances of getting into college by messing up your application.
You should apologize and say you are a changed man, that your arguing was a one time deal.
You need anger management, dude srsly.</p>
