The suspensions are likely to be hard to overcome when applying to competitive schools as there is just too much competition.

If I understand correctly, you received suspensions for two separate instances of theft–one from the school and another from a teacher at your school.

Maybe there was some difficulty at that time of your life which made you act out in a rebellious manner. You need to be prepared to deal with these disciplinary issues in an honest & straightforward manner. Consider admitting your mistakes & sharing that you accept responsibility and have grown beyond this type of behavior if asked to explain.

Sometimes the world is unforgiving so be sure to apply to a few safety schools.
