Tapi

that seems shadier.

you and me both. Ignoring was my gut reaction too, but then you get into all these stupid problems about how it would have been fine if I just said something but since I later knowingly omitted it its a coverup or some idiotic thing like that. bureaucracy is crazy.

So it turns out, upon further inspection, that one of the schools I already submitted my application to includes HIGH SCHOOL nonacademic suspensions in their background info question. I did not notice this since every other school only cared about college disciplinary stuff. I was suspended in my junior or senior year for one day for a verbal altercation with someone in gym class. It was really dumb and not even kind of anything I would do now, but I answered no to that question without realizing. I sorta figure that it wouldn't really hurt my case to send an email to the school explaining this- its about the most low key thing that i could possibly have gotten in trouble for. It's the fact that i technically, although accidentally, lied about it- even though I can't possibly see how they would find out- which makes me look bad. Any thoughts?
