<p>i was caught stealing from the bookstore, $300 worth of stuff over a month and a half. I paid it back in full and no charges are going to be filed against me as I've never done anything like this in my life, was very honest and obviously acutely embarassed. Great student with great grades. I feel so much remorse it's about to kill me. I am absolutely terrified that I will be dismissed from school on Monday even though I have been told the likelihood is low. I've never felt the need to steal in my life. School is my number one priority and I'm having a really rough time with this. What are my chances of getting kicked out</p>
<p>Stealing is a very serious offense; however, if you have paid back everything in full and no charges were filed - AND they told you that the chance of dismissal is low, I wouldn’t bet on your expulsion. I think you’ll be okay, but it is very important to emphasize how sorry you feel. </p>
