<p>This issue probably doesn't come up all that often, but what if hypothetically a kid were to be suspended (for an unarguably trivial oversight) between getting accepted and matriculation? My problem essentially arises from an obscure rule at our school (I forgot and failed to skip calculus every third tuesday for an organizational meeting for a volunteer group I'm in, and it's considered a class cut... yes, I'm serious)... anyway, will I have to tell anyone about it, do anything special, etc? <em>grumbles</em></p>
<p>It's a good policy to let MIT admissions know (Ben J., kick me if I'm wrong), but if they're anything like Caltech admissions, they'll laugh for fifteen minutes at the high school adminisaurus who did this and not do anything to you.</p>
<p>Take heart, this nonsense (i.e. high school) is over soon.</p>
<p>wow that is really unfortunate. Well, i'm sure it won't matter at all if you explain the situation to MIT. They'll understand (and hopefully laugh, too)</p>
<p>Wow, kcastelle... "I got in trouble because I went to calculus class." If any trouble happens between you and MIT, it would be some crazy kind of lawsuit between you and your high school.</p>
<p>If you're in the volunteer group, why weren't you going to the org meetings?</p>
<p>I didn't go to the one I missed because I legitimately forgot - I always attend the actual mentoring appointments when I tutor the kids, but I forgot about the organizational one during calculus where we just share stories/advice/etc... it was only a formality. And the "every third Tuesday" part was hard to keep track of because I've been in and out of school doing AP tests, field trips, etc. It really was just a mistake though.</p>
