<p>detension/ suspension/ expulsion:
got involved in a physical fight and was suspended from school for about
a month and half at the end of my Freshmen year. It was very minor
offense... and I explained it in detail in the common app essay.</p>

<p>Recommendations: i got one from math teacher who taught me for 3 years and gave me a class award (pre-calculus) last year. the other one was from mandarin teacher who also taught me for 3 years and also gave me a class award (mandarin3) last year.</p>

<pre><code> The things I'm worried about are suspension.. math2 and SAT1 math, and not many AP courses.. (but in my school the options for AP courses are really limited),, yea..

<p>why would you be worried about your math scores?</p>

3

<p>Because you can't get in with a 790, you need an 800....super important...obviously</p>

<p>I just took SAT 2 chinese today.. I guess I did fine..expecting above 750.
but is that true?? that 800 and 790 are totally different??
what about my suspension?? will that affect a lot??</p>

<p>Philolexian was being sarcastic, your scores are great.
As for your suspension... well obviously it's not a good thing to have your record, but if you explained it then hopefully it won't go against you too much.</p>

<p>Hey thanks.. that gave me some relief.
hmm I am kind of not sure wheter my ECs are strong enough.. well I didn't put it all I achieved, for example I am also in school worship band as a vocalist and also in the school ensemble.. but Wharton school is definitely high reach for almost everyone...</p>
