So on the “College Report” form that all transfer applicants have to submit, I am sure that the disciplinary official checked “No” on the question that asks:
Has the applicant ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at your school, whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct, that resulted in the applicant’s probation, suspension, removal, dismissal, or expulsion from your institution?
However, I have had a run-in or two with my RCD and these incidents found there way into the disciplinary system even though I wasn’t found guilty of any policy violations. Do you think it is possible that adcoms could call up disciplinary officials and access details about these incidents despite them not resulting in official disciplinary action? I am particularly concerned about this occurring if I am under serious consideration from a school and they are looking to get as many details as possible about me before making a final admissions decision.

Now I’m worried about adcoms browsing this site and connecting the information I’ve posted on here to figure out who I am, is there a possibility that could happen?
“For many college students, the transition on their minds is to a different college. A 2015 report by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center found that 37.2 percent of college students changed schools at least once within six years, and of these, 45 percent changed their institution more than once.Jan 29, 2019”
There are approx 10mm college students of all sorts in the USA.
3.7mm over a six year period could be expressed as an average of 600,000 transfers. Even if they had the time and were really trying to ruin your life on purpose there would be a 1 and 600k chance.
In other words. Relax. Stop fighting with your rcd. Finish the semester strong and go watch “game of thrones”

The problem is I’ve posted information about my demographic background, the schools I’m applying to, the courses I’m enrolled and the grades I have in those courses, so if the adcoms from a specific school really wanted to find me they probably could.
@privatebanker
Also I didn’t fight with my RCD I meant that I had write-ups from my RA’s that made their way to his desk and that I had to go in and talk about with him.
They are at the gym or thinking about dinner. Honestly they don’t care enough. Why should they be hunting around on cc. They do this all day long. And you assume all the schools you applied to would do this.
And how exactly will worrying change one darn thing except ruin your day. I say don’t borrow worry from tomorrow to ruin today.
Ok you don’t get into school x because you posted on cc that you are concerned that they will call your cc and find out you have a personality conflict with a rcd and it resulted in no formal disciplinary action. Really? Let them call.
And if they say no way. Apply somewhere else next year. It’s not perfect but it’s not like a brain tumor.
Ok. You played music late at night and pissed off your ra.
The rcd said knock it off. Or whatever.
And then it happened again or you did something else. The ra reported you and rcd said if I see you here again there will be trouble. Or whatever.
Be on your best behavior.
If they wrote that you had a disciplinary issue on your app. Maybe they’ll call and find out it wasn’t really at that level. No big deal.
But if they write “no” on your app you really think an adcomm Officer is searching the site to find your non issue, issue and figure out it must be you and deny your admission. Nope. Never.
But I would be a perfect dorm mate for the next month.
@privatebanker
This is a one-time transfer attempt so if it doesn’t happen because of this nonsense it will be a massive farce. But of course I’ll have no way of knowing precisely why I was rejected, so I will never know if this was the reason. If it is then that is just laughable honestly.
Your point about the time of day is well taken, hopefully this thread gets buried by the start of the work day tomorrow. Until then I will be contacting moderators to try to get some of my threads deleted for privacy reasons.
@privatebanker
Unfortunately the incidents were a lot more serious than that, to the point that I am worried the disciplinary official might have made a note of it on my college report even though I’ve never officially been charged with any policy violations.
@MaineLonghorn
All I can do is hope that adcoms don’t actively browse this site for dirt and connect the dots. Either that or a fellow transfer applicant could send this thread out to every school to which they’re applying and tell the adcoms to “look into it further.” Why did I bother asking about this stuff even anonymously gosh darnit
As noted above, we don’t delete on request. But really, you are overestimating the time and/or energy that AOs have. They have lives outside the office. If they were looking through social media (and I doubt that many are), they are not going to start compiling bits and pieces to try to figure out who @transferguy2019 really is. That said, I hope that your easily identifiable social media sites like FB and linkedin have nothing damaging in the public view.
If i we’re an AO, which I’m clearly not, this thread would be more confusing and concerning than a kid getting caught smoking weed in his room or whatever.
