student misconduct

<p>Hey guys, I have a question that's eating me up inside...</p>

<p>I am a 2nd year and was recently at a friend's dorm where there was drinking occurring. I was not drinking, but when the Resident Officers came, I was written up for simply being present (and of course, accused of alcohol consumption). I had a meeting with the Resident Supervisor and he determined that there was not enough information to implicate me in the offense, so he wrote that I was "Not held responsible".</p>

<p>I asked him if this would be on my student record and he said that it stays with me until the day I graduate, that if someone (such as med schools) were to do a background check, it would show up that I was accused but found not responsible for the alcohol violation. This doesn't go on my transcript or anything, but it stays with my student record. My question is whether I'm required to note this on the disciplinary action section of AMCAS and whether it will impact me in med school admissions? (I guess it's kinda like being a suspect in a crime and being found not guilty, but it's still on record that you were a suspect lol).</p>

<p>Sorry if this sounds like a paranoid post, but this is the first time it's happened to me and I wanted to make sure I didn't really screw myself over. I know everyone is going to say "don't worry, you'll still get in", and I realize that, but will this impact me for the really top schools or anything? Thanks in advance!</p>

<ol>
<li>he's full of crap</li>
<li>i dont see anything wrong with being found "not responsible"</li>
</ol>

<p>I would be SHOCKED if this mattered. It's a school violation, not a criminal charge, and you were found essentially to be a non-contributor.</p>
