Do you have a criminal record?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I'm a senior at Princeton University, and I'm writing my thesis about the barriers to college enrollment that are faced by people with criminal records. </p>

<p>I have done a number of interviews with university admissions officers to get a sense of how they evaluate applicants who have criminal records, but now I want to look at the other side of the story: to write about the barriers to admission from the perspective of the applicants themselves.</p>

<p>Have you or anyone you know applied to college with a criminal record? Do you feel that the criminal record played a role your decision of how or where to apply? Do you feel that it impacted whether you were admitted or not? If so, I would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and to hear your story.</p>

<p>Feel free to post here, and I will get in contact with you. Thanks so much for your time!</p>

<p>I know this doesn’t exactly reply to the “criminal” part but it does have to do with barriers to admission. I was dismissed from Johnson and Wales University in RI and it’s been a pretty hectic ride from there. I’ve been evaluated separately from other applicants by a judicial board, rejected from a university because of their admissions policy and have to go that much farther to prove to university’s that I’m eligible.
