Help! Misdemeanor and transferring!

<p>First semester of college I got a DIP and Im trying to transfer. I had to check yes if I had ever been convicted, plead guilty, etc. to a misdemeanor. I wrote an essay about the experience and how I have changed and so on. Is this going to affect my chances a lot?
Also, I have good grades, and was on the waiting list last year so and they said that it makes me have a slight edge on others. Help!!!</p>

<p>What's a DIP?</p>
