Do they care about your criminal background??

<p>I'm 16 and i would really like to go here, but i made a stupid mistake and am being charged with possesion of marijuana and minor in possesion of alcohol.Will this make a difference when being looked at by this college?? Will it make a difference when i apply to any other college as well??</p>

<p>This is a question for an admissions officer. Many of the applications my D completed did ask about this, so colleges presumably care. If I recall correctly, Loren Pope has a chapter on this topic in his book “Looking Beyond the Ivy League.” You might want to check it out.</p>
