<p>I was given detention my freshman year because my phone went off in class, and on my discipline record it says "student did not follow exam procedures"... im scared this will count as academic dishonesty / ethics code? and DO I HAVE TO CHECK THAT BOX IN THE COMMON APP REGARDING DISCIPLINARY STUFF? That's my main concern. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Lol, ur fine. U might want to explain it though. Maybe add in a supplement that ur phone went off</p>

<p>you’ll be fine about the last part
but your ECs sound a little like a laundry list, a lot of people are leaders of clubs and athletics so I’d say reach esp. for harvard. what’s your major btw?</p>

<p>Not to be racist but I feel like the fact that you’re African American can help you a decent amount.</p>

<p>I agree with vgeagle. i think your race will help you in this process. You seem to be a close to perfect applicant and SCEA should help.</p>
