I got into Saint Louis University with a good scholarship and I really wanted to do well and stay in school. But I had only been partying this whole summer and on the first Friday night of the semester, I was around some bad people, smoked some weed and took a probably misdosed"acid" tab from a new dealer. I ended up tripping badly when I got back to my dorm and the RA had to call cops to take me to the hospital.
The school wanted to suspend me for a year and put me on lifetime probation. I appealed and it was not successful at all. At the moment I'm just suspended and living in an apartment in St. Louis.
I do not want to go back to SLU and be stuck with this lifetime probation. At the moment I'm thinking about going to California and attend a CC paying instate tuition and eventually transfer into a top-tier UC. I'm thinking about never mentioning this incident or that I attended SLU to future colleges for the good.
However, is there any way that my future college could find out that I attended SLU? Would there be any considerable risk in me lying and just not mentioning my disciplinary record at SLU?
Would it be altogether better if I just take a whole year off and apply to a couple of UC colleges? I have my stats at the end and I would really appreciate if you can guesstimate what are my chances into the top tier UCs.
I had 3.7 unweighted GPA in HS and 32 on the ACT. I passed 7 AP tests (Computer Science(3) , Spanish Lang(4), Calc (5), Stat(4), European History(3), World History(4), Physics C:Mechanics(4)). I never graduated from high school due to some personal problems and ended up getting very high scores on HiSet (the GED in Missouri). I don't have EA really, but I won a congressional scholarship to go to Germany for a year. I speak four languages as well.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your advice!
