Hi all. I made a mistake when I was younger in another Master's graduate program. As a result I got suspended for two semesters.
This was more than four-years ago. It was when I was dumb about decision making.
Does this scar in my record prevent me from getting admitted to a top MBA program? If so, perhaps it's not worth me even applying.
Thanks for any and all input/advice.

Mistake can mean a lot things...
If you get suspended as a post HS student, there are two primary reasons why:
1. You broke the academic honor code that you didn't cheat/plagiarize.
2. You broke a student conduct code (may also be the honor code too) rule. More likely if you were FT and/or lived on campus. The rule could be for a huge variety of instances, like harassing a student or doing something illegal, but you weren't criminally charged for it. Colleges often hold student conduct board hearings on students who are charged of sexual misconduct, when criminal charges aren't filed, though this is mostly and undergrad issue, but it can affect grads too.
I assume you're talking about point 1.
At any rate, you'll have to explain what happened. Instead of making it a sob story which they don't want to hear, I'd write about how you learned from that experience and how you can assure the adcom that this won't happen again. And you need to make this as short as possible, while getting your point across.
Will you get into a top MBA program? Possibly if you can convince them that your strengths outweigh this issue.

With a better explanation of why you were suspended, we could probably give you better advice. Was it ethics, cheating, plagiarism, drugs, law enforcement, skipping class?
With ethics being one of the main concerns of the modern MBA student (especially after the 2008 market downturn) I think you will have to make a very strong case for yourself. Also, does this suspension show up on your transcript? How would the program you are applying to know that something happened, other than the fact that you took two semesters off.
If something did happen, and it is shown on your transcript or somewhere else that the adcoms will see, you have to address it in your optional essay. If it was cheating or plagiarism based I definitely think it could hurt your application.
Here's how a school recently dealt with plagiarism: https://poetsandquants.com/2012/02/01/uc ... lagiarism/ This might give you an idea of Bschools stance on ethics
