Fordham app - disclose high school disciplinary actions?!?! Forum

[sgtgrumbles]

Okay, this is ridiculous. The Fordham app asks, "Have you ever been subject to disciplinary action, placed on academic probation, or dismissed from any school, college, university, graduate, law, or other professional school?"

Do I have to write an addendum about the valuable life lessons I learned from receiving detention for skipping my 11th grade social studies class? Do other applications ask this question in such a broad way as to include high school?

Detention????????

You mean like "sitting in the classroom for 4 hours on Saturday" detention?

I highly highly doubt that you have to disclose that.

This is an absurd reply.
The answer requires knowing whether Fordham intends to include HS, not whether we think it's reasonable.
If they do intend to include HS, the answer is yes; if not, no.

I vote you call 'em tomorrow?

I highly doubt they mean HS, I mean come on. Let us know if you call em. If they want high school I'll have to disclose over 150 detentions just for being late lol.

Haha, okay. I just called and asked and got an amused "no, it does not include high school."
