***Will this hurt my chances at Columbia?***

<p>Ok so I was doing part of the online application today and it asked if I've ever been like suspended, serious disciplinary, probation etcs. Now Im a senior right now but last year i got In school suspension (iss) for a toal of ten days for calling my techer a b**** and a w****. I asked the assistant principal if this would hurt me and she said thye dont send colleges this info and the guidance counselor confirmed this. </p>

<p>so do i put yes or no. if i say yes then they might drop me. if i say no they might learn from the school later and then kick me out of the school or deny me.</p>

<p>WHAT TO DO???</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>p.s. i'm not not qualified for columbia. i probably can get in but im scared this might be the death of my columbia assperations.</p>

<p>I say you put no. First, you had iss which isn't really suspension. "Serious disciplinary" is whatever you interpret it as... and you weren't on probation.</p>

<p>i wouldn't put it.</p>

<p>can you type out the words u said spaced out so we can understand your situation and hopefully be able to assist you better?</p>

<p>don't put it. </p>

<p>like UMrunner08 said, in school suspension isn't really suspension. if your school will not send out records like that, then Columbia would probably never know.</p>

<p>I wouldn't put it down. ISS is basically like detention.</p>

<p>It depends, How did your school handle the situation? Yes, you were suspended. However, you are also given the opportunity to explain the circustances surrounding your suspension.</p>

<p>If it is documented in your school records you might as well come clean because not coming clean and then having it come out would pretty much be an automatic rejection or having the school rescind your admission for you not being truthful. </p>

<p>College confidential does address h.s. supsensions and how they should be handled.</p>
