<p>okay so a friend of mine declared to usc months ago, in capstone scholars program and recipient of mcnair scholarship. saturday night, there was a school dance, and a few people got kicked out for being **** face wasted, and because she had driven them from the house where they went for the pre-party (they obviously went way too hard…one girl=prez of senior class too…), they breathalized her and she blew 0 because she was dd for the night, but they searched her car and found 2 handles in it. she was immediately suspended for 10 days for having alcohol on school property. the other 3 people who she had driven were all suspended too, but im really worried about how this will affect her status at sc. shes being booted from nhs, and the school sponsor for nhs is calling all of their schools today to explain why they are being kicked out. will this affect her scholarship to sc or status in the scholars program?</p>
<p>note-this is the first time she has even been written up in high school, dont know if that affects it.</p>
<p>I think that’s something your friend should worry about, though I do think it’s awful that she’s in so much trouble and she wasn’t even drinking.</p>
<p>But nonetheless, I don’t think anyone on this board could really give you an adequate answer as to what will happen for her.</p>
<p>I would seriously doubt that any high school sillyness will ever be reported to USC. College students do stupid stuff all the time, as long as they aren’t doing it on campus or in any type of official college capacity, most colleges will not ever look into it.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be so sure about this. MIPs (minors in possession) are taken very seriously at USC…if the university finds out that a USC student has received one they are put in a a mandatory alcohol awareness class that lasts something like 6 weeks.</p>
<p>As to if USC will find out…the answer is yes they will. The HS college counselors have an obligation to report any and all suspensions to the schools who have accepted a student because it is now different than the report they gave to the schools during the admissions process. Failure to do so would be seen as a breach of their obligation and it could seriously alter/damage the relationship between the HS counselors and the colleges.</p>
<p>Your friend needs to personally contact USC admissions immediately to relate her story first hand.</p>
