How does suspension affect college admissions?

How will my suspension affect my college acceptance?

  • I was suspended (1 day) for leaving school grounds for lunch. To me, this seems like a fairly insignificant suspension in comparison to other possibilities such as cheating, or problems with drugs, etc. Even so, I was wondering how this will affect my chances of getting into a top tier school. I'm looking at colleges such as UVA and Notre Dame, where everything counts. Any ideas as to how this will affect my application/chances of being accepted? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    I honestly don't know for sure, but I doubt it'll mean anything if that's the the only thing you've got going against you. Try to relax and not make yourself crazy over it.

I doubt it will affect it, for how short it was and for such a minor offense. People leave school grounds all the time with their parents but by yourself is worse? Not really. Don't worry about it. Especially if it is only your first time being suspended.
