<p>alexandra, i think we you have to take what hmom5 said with a grain of salt (no offense, hmom5). For people like us, it’s impossible to completely ignore our past; it WILL come out eventually. it’s better to talk about the change you made than to just have a strange transcript with no explanation. furthermore, i think a lot of this will be communicated in an interview. i honestly do not think that a college would reject a qualified candidate because of something like this.</p>
