<p>Well okay, so I have a suspension record...</p>
<p>I wrote something like death note in grade 9 and I was suspended for 2-3 days or so.</p>
<p>So... will it affect my admission? I really hope it doesn't, but since there's a checkbox asking for suspension/expulsion record, I'm thinking that it counts.</p>
<p>Please please please help me :'(</p>
<p>a death note eh.
Did you write why you were suspended or just said your suspended.
You should be flat out honest.
Don’t schools send records?</p>
<p>Someone from my school stole a kid’s PSP and received OSS sophomore year. He was recently admitted early to Yale.</p>
<p>Indicate on your application that you received the suspension, but address the reasoning in an essay or in the additional info section – see if you can spin it positively, like, that was then, this is now. I feel like there has to be an interesting story there, lol… Best of luck!</p>
<p>Thanks, guys! I was worrying about this so much and I thought it’d just kill my admission! Now I feel a bit more relieved .<em>phew</em></p>
<p>As stated, it was 9th grade. I am pretty sure you have changed quite a bit since then, a fact colleges, after years and years of admissions, know well.</p>
<p>My son was suspended in 11th grade for one day so I had him write an essay on the errors of his ways. He gave it to the Principal. This year he has been accepted into three schools- granted they are not HYP, but it wasn’t a deal breaker either. Just be honest and you should be fine.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think that because it was so long ago, it won’t have much weight. Good luck! And stay out of trouble :P</p>
<p>Thank you all - and yeah, I’m a goodie goodie now :P</p>
