I'm in my senior year of high school and I am starting to apply to colleges. However, in the ending of my junior year I got in door suspension for issuing a threat to another student. The other student basically initiated the entire thing and got off with nothing. Amazing. Anyways, will that affect my chances of getting into college? That was the ONLY thing I have ever done wrong. And what if you made a mistake on the online application? Will any of this hurt my chances of getting in?
College -- Florida International University. Help?

=\ Some colleges don't ask, however on the online app it asked about behavioral misconduct, etc etc and to explain what happened.

Approach that question as you would any other essay question. Be honest, but positive. Think about not only what happened, but what you, personally, learned from that experience. Put as positive a spin on that learning as you can.
So don't blame the other student. Take responsibility for what you did, even if she was more at fault, even if she started it. Take responsibility for your role in the situation. You made the threat. You got suspended. And from that experience, you've learned X, Y and Z, which have made you a better person, blah blah blah. Make it sound more genuine than this, though.
If you can tell them what happened, and basically convince them that you learned from that and have become a better person (and thus unlikely to repeat), you'll be fine.
Anyone can make one single mistake. If you can show them that you learned something and won't repeat, they shouldn't hold that against you.

I myself got In School Suspension my senior year and the colleges I applied to never asked for that information generally speaking they just ask for your transcripts and this is not recorded on them.

That information is not asked for on a college application AND it is not on your transcripts from high school. SO unless you shared the information to the college they would have no way of knowing!

faculties do not look at something concerning what you probably did in center college. Your everlasting checklist does not get despatched on your college. it extremely is a checklist saved via your college, containing record taking part in cards, papers, etc, and you gets it once you graduate.
