<p>I’m just a grade 11 student in Canada who happens to get suspended two months ago for taking a school property, scanner, from the library without the school’s authorization. Though I tried to explain and justify that I was in a hurry to get my math assignment scanned, the school said it is equivalent to stealing a school property. For 5 days, I spent 4 hours a day doing community service. </p>
<p>From the rumors I’ve heard from my peers, first suspension won’t be submitted to the university admissions. There are, however, chances that universities might do some background checks on me or ask the counselors for any cases of my suspension. </p>
<p>So, if my school end up submitting the case of my suspension to my university, how much will it affect? I mean, I have about 94% average, won a provincial mock trial, and won a magic competition in Canadian Association of Magicians. Is it feasible to “cover” up such flaw by saying no to the suspension part of the application and listing all the of my merits? </p>
<p>if my suspension do go to the admission and if it does hurt my chane of acceptance,
what’s the best strategy?</p>
