Okay so I am 16 and went to my 1st party. I’ve never been drunk or even drinked before until now. I’ve never been charged with anything either. At the party I was drinking what was in my cup and the cops came and made me take a breathalyzer test. I blew a .02. The cop gave me a citation with a court date on it. I’m wondering if I get this dismissed what will happen? Hopefully they give me community service but will it always be on my record? And will the college I want to go to deny me financial aid because of it even tho it’s dismissed?
ECU is the school I’m trying to get into so if you have any insight on that it would be helpful as well
this is seen as a positive for a school like ecu
Any disciplinary action you get may affect admissions (although highly unlikely in this case IMO), but will not affect FA. If the college admits you, the FA office will not care about your past transgressions.
You should be okay, but I would try to get it dismissed. I know plenty of HS students who have received these citations who are still accepted into NSCU, UNCW and such.
