Hey I'm a junior in college and will be applying to graduate schools next fall. Overall I have a 3.982 gpa, reading proficiency in one of my language requirements for the program I wish to apply, a few graduate classes that I have been able to complete as an undergraduate, and an undergraduate assistant teaching position, in addition to being in contact with the professor I wish to work with. In my freshman year though, I had some problems with drugs and alchohol that put me on medical leave from a prestigious college. From that year I have a 3.5 gpa but it isn't factored into my current one. The current college i attend is a public commuter college which I hurriedly applied to after being put on leave. I am wondering if the schools I am applying to will inquire into my leave of absence on my transcript, or if my former college will inform them about why I left with my transcript. Will my issues freshman year affect my being accepted into a graduate program?
