One of the first weeks of college, my RA found me, my roommate and a few of our friends drinking in my dorm. My RA just called public safety and they came and confiscated everything. The police were not involved. We all fully cooperated. I wasn’t drunk at the time as we had just started drinking. I went to a meeting with my residence director and she just talked to me but didn’t deem it as serious. I just had to complete health surveys online and got a violation.
I want to transfer to another school but I am really nervous about how this will affect me as there is a section on the common app about disciplinary issues. I know it is probably on my record somewhere. I told the truth and explained the situation while taking responsibility for what happened but I was wondering if it would really hurt my chances of getting accepted. I’m applying to state schools like UConn, University of Vermont, University of Delaware, University of New Hampshire, etc. Any answers are appreciated!
