Help, I just got suspended for academic dishonesty

I am considering to transfer to another new school for a fresh new start.

From the school report on the Common App:

Has the applicant ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at your school from the 9th grade (or the international equivalent) forward, whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct, that resulted in a disciplinary action? These actions could include, but are not limited to: probation, suspension, removal, dismissal, or expulsion from your institution.

Transferring schools will not change how the GC answers that question, since s/he will have records from the old school.

Whether the college will care will depend upon what the infraction was. At this point, it is what it is. Staying out of trouble for the next 2 years will help.
