I have began the process of applying for college; Howard University is my first choice, therefore I am applying “early action”. Up until recently, I had felt pretty confident (although very nervous) about my admissions… I did not realize that you would be asked about suspensions and such. I was suspended from school once for dropping the f-bomb (I was telling a story, not threatening anyone). I got two days for this… I also got a day of in-school (but I’m not sure if that counts)… I got caught cutting class.

Anyway, besides that, I have a decent record with a 3.6 cumulative GPA, but it has gotten higher recently do to my various AP classes (4.25 last semester). My ACT is not outstanding, but average I suppose… 21 cumulative. I don’t really do sports, but I was in tennis one year, year book once, Theater twice, and have been participating in World Vision affiliated community organizations and activities.

I have many science credits…like 6 or 7 (my field is nutrition) 4 english, 4 math, 4 social studies, and 3 years of Chinese.

My suspension has REALLY got me worried!
What are my chances??
