<p>I'm wondering is anybody has been able to get into a good college with a suspension on their record.
I have been suspended last year for 3 days for something (I will specify if needed)
And I have been HIGHLY concerned since about if I can get into a college I want to get into..
My grades are fine,
I'm in NHS,
I have achievements from the Honor Band,
I volunteer at a hospital,
I do internships.</p>
<p>Please help me.</p>
<p>How serious was what you did?</p>
<p>paraphenelia…
i haven’t continued anything since,
and ive read things from admission people that they don’t care about the suspension, but how the person dealt with it and improved from then</p>
<p>My cousin got into multiple fights during high school and he got into MIT.</p>
<p>If you’ve only been suspended three days, you couldn’t have burned the school down or killed the principal. You should write about it in your Common App essay and use that as a forum to explain how you have learned and how you have improved.</p>
<p>how about 10 day out of escuela suspension for cheating?</p>
<p>I was constantly getting suspended in high school. I’m currently at Columbia.</p>
<p>How would you state to the colleges that you’ve been suspended?</p>
<p>you got into nhs and/or wasn’t thrown out of it so i think ur gonna be fine</p>
<p>I was suspended for a fight (1 day), and a close friend got suspended for possession (5 days). I was accepted to MIT, and he’s now attending UPenn.</p>
<p>As long as it’s not an academic-related violation, I don’t think they will look too badly on it. They know that people make mistakes, and having a class body of identical do-gooders would be kind of annoying. As long as you can explain what happened and how you handled yourself afterward, as well as maintained a relatively proper record for the remainder of your school year, you should be fine.</p>
<p>bump <10 char></p>
<p>cmon plz discuss it more</p>
<p>woooowwwww </p>
<p>HSLers are all bamf. :O</p>
<p>i dont think a suspension shows up on your transcript lol so you will be fine</p>
<p>Oh nice, so now if I get suspended, I can tell my parents that I know a guy who got into an ivy league college even after he got suspended constantly, and a couple who got into MIT. xDDD</p>
<p>It doesn’t show up on my transcript; however, some applications ask about suspensions…</p>
<p>harvardlite, 10 day suspension for cheating is a pretty major issue if reported.</p>
<p>I was suspended for one day my junior year because I forged my algebra ii teacher’s signature so that I could get into pre calc honors my senior year (it even said in my school’s booklet that forging for the first offense is detention and the second offense is suspension; this was my first offense). however, my transcript doesn’t say that i got suspended and i dont think my guidance counselor checked yes or wrote an explanatory statement for the common app guidance counselor school report paper. What do i do? Please help; it’s an emergency.</p>
