Suspension and getting into College?
Question:
College -- Florida International University. Help?
Answer:
Approach that question as you would any other essay question. Be honest, but positive. Think about not only what happened, but what you, personally, learned from that experience. Put as positive a spin on that learning as you can.
So don't blame the other student. Take responsibility for what you did, even if she was more at fault, even if she started it. Take responsibility for your role in the situation. You made the threat. You got suspended. And from that experience, you've learned X, Y and Z, which have made you a better person, blah blah blah. Make it sound more genuine than this, though.
If you can tell them what happened, and basically convince them that you learned from that and have become a better person (and thus unlikely to repeat), you'll be fine.
Anyone can make one single mistake. If you can show them that you learned something and won't repeat, they shouldn't hold that against you.
I myself got In School Suspension my senior year and the colleges I applied to never asked for that information generally speaking they just ask for your transcripts and this is not recorded on them.
u will be fine..in school suspension should not be on your record.
That information is not asked for on a college application AND it is not on your transcripts from high school. SO unless you shared the information to the college they would have no way of knowing!
