Will my Secondary School reputation affect which uni I get into?

So I'm just going into my last year of Secondary School and in year 7 I was apparently caught stealing from the canteen and I was told it was going on my school record. Will this still affect me or was it too long ago to worry about it now???
lol I doubt it omg :biggrin:

I do not think so.
Your grades certainly will

I've always been a straight A-A* student so hopefully that will make up for it. Plus I never stole anything but I go to a bad school :/

No lol that stuff doesn't matter, unless you get a police record/expelled you're fine

And poor performing secondary schools are actually advantageous when it comes to uni offers (providing you get the grades lol)
