Does this affect admissions?

<p>IF you have a minor consumption ticket on your record, does it affect whether your admitted to schools or not?</p>

<p>Consumption of alcohol?</p>

<p>You might need to do some heavy explaining.</p>

<p>(Also -- I have a question mainly out of curiosity -- would an alcohol charge affect financial aid eligibility under drug use?)</p>

<p>Your record is sealed if you're under 18. Colleges can't tap into that information as long as you seal your juvenile record.</p>

<p>If you're above 18, however, that's a different story...</p>

<p>Well I do not have one myself, but many of my friends do. I was just curious. But even if I did I'm glad I would turn 18 in May of my senior year, after the college would have already accepted me :)</p>
