<p>Another thought I had is that if the school really has such a hair trigger on suspensions, then there must be a lot of people who have had similar suspensions in the past. What is their track record in college admissions. I think it’s a fair question to ask your GC.</p>
<p>actually a certain incident happened last year in our school that definitely made my school trigger happy. Either way, the guidance counselor during my suspension was a substitute one and will remain my temporary guidance counselor until around january when my new one comes back (she had like 2 babies in a row). So would it be advisable to try to talk to my temporary one (kind of clueless) or to talk to my real one when she comes back? Im only a sophomore so its not like i cant wait another year to bring this up. However, if i talked to my temporary one there is a remote possibility that she will agree to try to have it removed or something (since shes really clueless). Also i could ask my temporary one now and my real one next year. Im just wondering if its too early to bring this up, since it hasnt even been a year since it happened. I tried to fight this but my vp said that there was no appeals process. I think my school says that appeals are only for suspensions of 10 days or longer? And im probably average. I think im the only sophomore to ever take 3 aps in one year at my school, but this probably doesnt mean much. thanks for your replies :)</p>
<p>I don’t know about which GC. </p>
<p>You mean this all happened when you were in 9th grade? I totally missed that. Where were your parents during all of this? Have them find out exactly what will be reported to colleges. Colleges may be more forgiving of 9th grade suspensions. I don’t know what kind of school you go to but missing 3 days of school seems like a serious enough suspension to allow for an appeals process.</p>
