Applying to College

<p>Kind of off college topic, but I got an in school suspension after I “argued” with a teacher but it was more an accumulation of me getting in trouble for stupid things. Is it possible wipe an in school suspension from your record?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Talk to your guidance counselor about whether that even shows up on the information they send to colleges. In many places, it only gets mentioned if you have had repeated, serious, behavioral problems. This is very school-specific so it has to come from your school.</p>

<p>That said, I don’t see any school turning you down because you were suspended for getting mouthy with a teacher. Drug violations, stealing, and truancy yes, arguing with teacher no.</p>

<p>You might want to read this thread that started out a slightly different topic but which has taken on a life of its own:</p>

<p>IMO, if you don’t repeat it and show evidence of having learned from your mistake, you’ll be fine. Colleges want real people, and real people mess up sometimes.</p>
