I agree with the advice of paying3tuitions in post 27. Yes, it may make your admissions file more chancy that you have a suspension for cheating and build a more varied list and not just top ten schools....BUT.....a lot will depend on how you approach it and as she wrote, these schools ask if you were suspended and to explain the suspension....and they don't say, if you were suspended, don't bother applying. And so they do read the "explanations" and this statement on your end will be very very important in your demonstrating what you learned and how you have changed since this incident of poor judgment. And having a GC or teacher also write about changes you have made will bode in your favor even though this suspension is a mark on your fine record.
