A senior in high school suspended for 3 das & college apps.
Question Posted Thursday December 13 2007, 12:04 pm
To make a long story short, I received a 3-day suspension today for making a really bad decision and pulling a prank that could have gotten worse if I wouldn't have ratted myself out. There were other people involved but I took all of the blame because if it weren't for me then it wouldn't have happened. A note was written by myself and 3 others that the administration found. I let the administration find it without thinking about the consequences.
Anyway, I was suspended for 3-days (a more than fair suspension) they were even nice enough to count today as day 1 which means I return to school Tuesday.
My question is about college. I have already been accepted to one college and am awaiting word from the other 2 that I applied to. How will this effect me? If I were to choose to go to the college I'm already accepted to and if I graduate, maintain my grades, etc., then will I still be allowed to go? After I graduate they ask for a final copy of my transcript which I'm not sure if it will have the suspension on it, probably though. What are my chances of being kicked out or them taking back the acceptance and saying nevermind, you're not accepted?
It's not an amazing college but I'm still worried. The other college I applied to is the one I really want to go to, (App State) but I'm afraid that my suspension will ruin my chances... Does anyone have any experience with this?
