It was recently brought to my attention there are discrepancies between my transcripts and law school application. I indicated I had never been academically suspended or administratively dropped from any college or university however, I now know that is not accurate. In 2002, I enrolled at Hudson Valley Community College and stopped attending classes roughly a month into the first semester with no intention to return. This resulted in an unofficial withdrawal and, unknowingly, an academic suspension placed on my permanent transcript. Two years later I made another attempt to continue my education at ITT Technical Institute. I completed multiple semesters but was unsatisfied with the overall quality of the education and stopped attending.
Robert Duffley, a high school senior at Trinity High School, had withdrawn from his sophomore year early in the first semester after falling ill. Anticipating problems with his eligibility to participate in high-school sports during his senior year under certain NHIAA rules, Duffley’s principal sought a ruling from the NHIAA granting such eligibility. The NHIAA decided to allow Duffley to participate only during the first semester of his senior year. No reason was given for denying Duffley eligibility for the second semester. After unsuccessful appeals to the NHIAA executive council, Duffley filed a petition in the Superior Court, seeking equitable and injunctive relief. Duffley alleged "violation of his due process rights” and that the defendant had acted “arbitrarily and capriciously” in arriving at its decision, which was “unreasonable and unlawful."

Jennifer Gratz, Patrick Hamacher, and Barber Grutter have filed lawsuits against the University of Michigan for being denied admission based on their race. Hamacher had a “GPA of slightly under 3.4 and an ACT score of 28” (Kosseff).

I am writing this email to appeal me being put on academic probation. I believe that there was a factor of my education that the academic board has missed, and I wish to clarify what exactly it was.

Overall this experience force me to work hard when I know I am not in the same level as other
What started out as an expansion of my education as a California Real Estate Broker morphed into taunting and punishment of horrific proportions that still plague me today. The facts surrounding my defective bar examination booklet are indisputable, yet the Director of Admissions has found a way to blame me for the defect.

It is disheartening to my family and I that we have invested so much money and now we cannot even receive a small fraction of that money back specifically for the two courses I inquired about. Personally, I think I am way too nice because some people would go the legal route. Of this year, I withdrew from one class and that is transfusion, because of a dispute about grades and the unfair application of grading procedures and the emails from this current semester demonstrates
