<p>In early November of junior year, I was suspended from school for two days for lying to a teacher. Maybe people have assured me not to worry about this with a gpa (3.75) and SAT's around a 2100-2200. I am taking two APS and I have many extra-curriculars. I know when I apply to college I will have to write a one page letter explaining why I was suspended. My dean has tried to comfort me as has everyone else, but I still can't help but feel incredibly worried almost all the time. Teachers, even the one who i lied to, have said they would give me recommendations because they know me and knew I was under stress. I guess what I am trying to ask is if anyone has any experience with this kind of thing and if I should be worried that awful things are going to happen come admission time. WHAT DO I DO?</p>
<p>It needs to be handled, talk to your counselor. This may interest you:</p>
<p>Don't use the "I was under stress" excuse...admissions officers know that you will be subjected to stress in college, too.
Your best approach is to get a rec from the teacher you lied to...if that person can vouch for you that you have truly reformed.</p>
<p>Brilliant point SVmom, a rec from the teacher involve would be amazing.</p>
