<p>I am transferring colleges, my only concern is that my freshman fall I was caught in possession of alcohol by an RA. If I report this, will colleges make a big deal out of it, ie will it ruin my chances?</p>
<p>chances are no, probably not. I didn’t realize that those type of issues were put on someone’s permanent record</p>
<p>Make sure you report it if it’s on your record, but I seriously doubt it will stop a school from accepting you. As long as you have good grades, I bet they will shrug it off because they know that a large amount of college students drink before they are of legal age and don’t let it turn into a problem. Some of the people in charge of admissions probably did themselves when they were in college. I think you should be fine, but I would report it.</p>
