Got a citation my freshman year, can I get into a T14?

Payal Patel · June 9

In my freshman year of college, during the first week, I received a citation for underage drinking and a code of conduct violation from my school for the same incident. Although I hired a lawyer, went to court, and successfully got the charge dropped and expunged from my permanent record, I am still required to disclose both the code of conduct violation and the citation to schools. Has anyone had experience with a similar situation? Im afraid top schools will view me negatively due to these actions.

I would say that admissions counselors may view that as more insignificant than many other conduct offenses. At least according to a YouTube video released by Dean Z at Michigan, so-called "college way of life" like underage drinking offenses are often overlooked.

Howdy, Stranger!
