<p>If you have been convicted of drunk driving and you lie in the disciplinary section of the common app will admissions officers find out</p>
<p>Quite possibly, yes. An even worse possibility to consider would be that they don’t find out before you are admitted. But, somehow it comes up after you’ve been in college paying tuition and working hard for a year, or two or three. (Maybe the school or an employer or even a landlord does a background check on you when you apply for something.) At that point the school could take disciplinary action up to and including expelling you. This is serious. Don’t lie.</p>
<p>Absolutely. Don’t lie. But you may use the essay to talk about the lesson you’ve learned.</p>
