<p>left voluntarily for an extended period of time or incurred serious disciplinary action?"</p>
<p>Would a detention count? I got one in freshman year because I had too many tardies.</p>
<p>Well, I know this guy who got suspended several times in high school, even got expelled from middle school and still got into MIT, so yea I really don’t know how that works</p>
<p>No, a detention would not count. It is not a “serious disciplinary action” – heck, have you never watched The Breakfast Club? – and it certainly isn’t any of those other things. You don’t need to fill every blank on the application, especially not something like this if you don’t have to.</p>
<p>no it would not</p>
<p>If it would not count then why is it even there ?</p>
<p>Why are detentions even there? Like, in existence?</p>
<p>That’s a good question.</p>
<p>Detention is not the same as probation or suspension.</p>
