<p>So basically, I got caught for having a marijuana grinder at school. It wasn't mine. I found it outside on the street and I picked it up and put it in my pocket. It didn't have any marijuana in it, but I found out later from my principle that it smelled like marijuana. In class I took off my jacket, which had the grinder inside it, and put it on a table. Later I looked over to see one of my teachers holding the grinder. I don't know how he got it, but he confronted me. I admitted that I had it in my possession, but I told him that I found it on the street. He took it and gave it to the principle. I wrote a report on what happened and I ended up with 3 days suspension and disciplinary probation, which means that it will be reported to colleges. I'm a 17 y/o senior and I already sent out all my applications. How will this affect my chances of getting in? I haven't been accepted anywhere yet.
Schools I applied to:
Boston College
Johns Hopkins University
Cornell University
Northwestern University
University of Michigan
University of Pennsylvania (deferred)
University of Richmond</p>
<p>Well there is no way it’s going to help you with your applications. You should really see a counselor for your drug addiction.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t think this will hurt you too much, unless the report was particularly negative. I mean, colleges know that most of their students smoke pot. It’s not particularly dangerous.</p>
