High School Mistake

Does anything from high school go onto the AMCAS? See my senior year of high school I was suspended for one day (along with half of the senior class). I notified my college and had no issues attending. There has never been any "institutional action" taken against me by my college, but I was wondering whether I would have to disclose the high school incedent on my application.

Not that I remember. The only things that carried over from high school were my AP scores (because I got college credit for them) and SAT scores.

I don't think anything about high school really matters once you go to college. It's just like college won't matter once you get into med school. Just do the best you can in college and you'll be fine. The only thing they ask you about highschool on AMCAS is where you went!

The AMCAS does ask about post-secondary activities.

If the college you're at didn't care, and nothing was ever recorded, you're golden.

And who hasn't been suspended - isn't it a senior "rite of passage"?
