Chances...with a question on integrity.

<p>In the beginning of my junior year, I was caught with a relatively minor infraction of school rules that questioned my integrity. Aside from academic grades, my school also gives out grades based on the number of demerits one gets ("A" is no demerits), so I ended up getting a B for the semester. No other disciplinary action was taken, ie, suspension.</p>

<p>When considering colleges, I had asked my college counselor about it, and he advised to just let it go since for most admissions officers, a "B" won't raise any red flags. Although I followed his advice, I'm second guessing my choice not to mention the incident in my apps. If the incident comes to light, I fear it will seriously tarnish my chances of acceptance.</p>

<p>Just asking for opinions...</p>

<p>Schools applied to:
USC, UCLA, UCSD, NYU, Boston College, Cornell, University of Michigan</p>

SAT I: Math-710, CR-630, WR-690
SAT II: Math II-710, Physics-700
Type of School: Private (presitigous prep school)
Class Rank: N/A (school doesn't rank)
Curriculum: 7 Honors, 4 AP (relatively rigorous compared to other students)</p>

<p>EC: Concert Band (4 years), Marching Band (4 years), Cross-country (4 years), Track (4 years), 100~ Hours of community service, Co-founder of a school club, Member of various clubs, smaller stuff too lazy to list...</p>

<p>Solid academics and EC's for the colleges you applied to, but nothing special. I think you have a decent chance for most of your choices. </p>

<p>What is this "minor infraction" and do the universities you applied to know anything about it other than the fact that you got a B on "integrity?"</p>

<p>Sorry for such a late response. Basically, we were self-correcting tests, and through a lapse of judgement, I altered an answer. Upon realizing this mistake, I owned up to it.</p>

<p>well cross your fingers that they don't find out...most schools will not like it if they know you did something like that and then didn't tell them.</p>

<p>^true, but the fact that the OP was (presumably) responsible and owned up to his behavior will show a certain maturity should adcoms find out.</p>
