<p>my situation:
i applied to colleges (mostly privates) but i have decided to stay a year and then apply for admission in fall 2009. so i'm gonna apply as a freshman again but just be a year later than my peers.</p>
<p>so what i'm wondering is, if i do some minor crime (say, streaking) or do something real rowdy at school (and possibly get suspended), how would this affect my admission into colleges for 2009? this year i will probably apply to mostly public schools. thank you!</p>
<p>i remember when i was like twelve and getting arrested sounded really bad. and now my friends "almost" get arrested like every weekend. basically, not many average partying teenagers are going to think its that bad, but a college would DEFINITELY frown upon it. think of it this way. next year is the most competitive college admissions season EVER....and there will be 100 kids just like you who didnt get arrested.</p>
