<p>Hey guys, looking for an opinion here.</p>
<p>I transferred from Community College after doing 2 years in 2011 to a private university. Completed a year there and during the beginning of my third semester I got into trouble and got expelled. The expulsion was unrelated to drugs, sexual stuff, or anything that people take very seriously, however, I did get a misdemeanor on my record. It's the lowest level (B) in NYS, but it's still there. After my expulsion I transferred to another school successfully and completed my degree. My intention was to go to grad school, and I do think it's an option. I got accepted into the graduate program at my alma mater but (as a music student) kind of bombed my audition and didn't get into the program, but it had nothing to do with my record. I took a year off an am applying to schools again.</p>
<p>I am not limiting myself to one school this time, though, and want to try other options. I live in NYC and was looking at SUNY Purchase as it's not too far (about an hour train ride), it has a really good program, and I can still live in the city. I was checking out the application and one of the questions is if I have ever been dismissed or expelled from an institution. Not lying, so answer is yes. Next question is have I been convicted of a felony, and answer is no (so that should be fine).</p>
<p>My misconduct was a childish thing and was pretty stupid to begin with. I'm kind of expecting them to call me and just want to meet me in regards to what happened. I plan to be 100% honest and demonstrate how I worked past it by transferring, graduating with honors, and getting a great job in my field, also showing some good references from past teachers.</p>
<p>Anyways, what are your guys' take on this? </p>
