[quote=Anonymous]My DD was asked to withdraw from school for lying. She was at a school sponsored social event when she should have been studying and told the same lie about her whereabouts to multiple adults in her private high school. We thought it was harsh punishment for a 1st offence but bc she lied, put herself in the situation and certainly learnt her lesson!

How do we present this to colleges so they can still give her a fair chance especially since she has grown and learnt from her mistake. The school  "gave us the option" to withdraw for breaking a school code in leiu of dismissal but I suspect colleges understand that not all withdrawals are voluntary especially happening middle of 11th grade.  Her transcript reads "withdrawn" as we left mid semester.  She finished out the year with excellent grades at another school and is doing well there.

We were going to narrate the circumstances, show complete remorse and take full responsibility including how she has grown since the incident. Do we report this as a disciplinary action or do we just explain the incident in the additional details section of the application? I dont want to make a bad situation worse than it needs to be but want to be truthful and report it however we need to. Id appreciate the guidance if anyone knows. How do colleges react to these types of incidents and what are the important points to consider.[/quote]
