Suspension ruining my chances?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>To anyone who reads this or can help, thank you. </p>

<p>Just last week I was suspended for 5 days from school on account of coming to school under the influence of drugs (Marijuana to be specific). I was suspended and they allowed me to "buy back" some of my suspension days by going to a program. This was my first time using marijuana and I feel really horrible for what I had done. Now, on to my question: Will this suspension ruin or alter my chances of getting into college? I do not have a criminal record or anything of the sort. Thanks for your help! </p>

<p>And if it matters, my school of choice would be Case Western Reserve</p>

<p>I won’t “ruin your chances” per se, but it will rise some questions with adcoms. You might want to ask your counselor to help you get things sorted out.</p>

<p>Depends on how and if they report it. My daughters school didn’t report it of the kid got into no more trouble, went thought a program, Etc. ask your counselor. It may be just fine.</p>

<p>Thank you for replying, I will definitely speak with my counselor about it. Hopefully they won’t report it.</p>

<p>Dude! Waking and baking? C’mon. I have no idea what Case will do but you need to get it under control. GL</p>

<p>just wondering…why would you try marijuana for the first time before school? seems like a stressful environment. I’m not trying to be condescending, it just is surprising that your first time would be during school hours.</p>

<p>Well, I sincerely doubt this was your first time trying marijuana… Maybe your first time doing it at school?</p>

<p>Don’t do that again! Jeeeez</p>
