<p>Long story short, I felt like I had quite a strong app: 2350 SAT, 4.7 GPA, USAMO, Math Team Captain, Tutor, etc., but while blazing a few days ago, I was caught and arrested for possession. Obviously, this is something terrible for my application to most universities, but would more liberal universities like Berkeley (or maybe Stanford) be able look past this?</p>
<p>This topic is so absolutely ■■■■■■■■ that I had to create a new account in order to express how absolutely **<strong><em>ing ■■■■■■■■ this is. Obviously, that was one of the worst decisions of your life, and obviously, that’s one of the most idiotic questions you could possibly ask. NO </em></strong>. No universities look past this except for low tier ones. It’s happened to a few people I know, and even Berkeley won’t let you side. Dumb@ss.</p>
