<p>Well I am facing a bit of a dilemma. I attend a top 5 college (ivy league), and am currently facing a suspension for a few semesters for threats I made. This will be noted on my transcript until I graduate, and I will also be placed on academic probation for a year. I can choose to go back to my college, or potentially transfer to a less prestigious university (my state university which isn't ranked in the top 100 or so). I am wondering how the suspension will look to potential job recruiters/grad schools vs a better record at a mediocre university? I can make the transfer since I haven't agreed to the suspension yet. Due to the nature of my current transcript (not such good grades), a transfer to another top school is not possible.</p>
<p>Seriously trying to get out of this? </p>
<p>Well, if the suspension isn’t on your permanent record, stay where you are. In my (very limited) experience of job searching mid-undergraduate, you don’t always have to show the transcript. However, I do know that gpa matters a lot by the end of your 4 years, so regardless of the suspension, you should still wonder if it makes sense to transfer.</p>
<p>This may be a ■■■■■. There are posts from July 2009 and Dec 2009 saying he’s been suspended and forced to take a leave of absence from Wharton. He had a 3.5 but 4 withdrawals. Now he has yet to “agree” to the suspension.</p>
