Getting accepted with a misdemeanor?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am 26, and got a misdemeanor about 6 years go. I am looking to transfer from a community college and applied to three different state universities. On all the applications they asked about criminal record, and I explained to them what happened, and how I have improved since. Now I just wait for them to review it I guess.</p>

<p>So my question is, how many people got accepted into a college with a misdemeanor?</p>

<p>I would think it depends on the misdemeanor. If you’ve been clean for the whole 6 years, I’m sure that helps too</p>

<p>I really think it depends on many factors.</p>

<p>I know of one case (many years ago) of a law school classmate who was accepted after serving time for a MAJOR violent felony conviction.</p>
