<p>Okay, well I just sent in my enrollment to UM that came with a 20k per year sship. However, last night, I made a huge mistake. I was caught in the possession of alcohol underage at a school function. I recieved two misdemeanor charges, but I am a minor. What's going to happen now?</p>
<p>i heard misdemeanor charges don't need to be reported, but i'm really not sure.</p>
<p>lol...wow...that was a **** up. I think you'll be fine, as long as you don't get yourself into a felony you are solid. Make sure if you are filling out any future forms to tell the truth though; if they ask if you have any misdemeanr charges on anything (job app for instance) you have to disclose.</p>
<p>Try to be a bit more judicious in the future.</p>
<p>KB</p>
<p>heheh judicious = don't get caught next time</p>
<p>lol...interpret as you will. But PLEASE don't get caught drinking during orientation...they'll send you home, and then you have to come back to do orientation a 2nd time. Trust me...as fun as orientation was, you only want to do it once.</p>

<p>That's funny...my friend was recently caught with another substance (hmm....). I'm assuming they'll sentence you to a probationary period. That's what they did for him, and all it requires is he comes in once a month for a year and take random drug tests. After a year the offense will be expunged from his record.</p>
<p>I wonder how it would work, though, since he's going away to school yet has to come in for random drug tests...</p>
<p>MIP is just a ticket as far as I know. Plenty of people at my school get them. I'd say just don't get caught again.</p>
<p>Yeah, it looks like my records going to be clear with the police after I do some community service, do some course, and go on probation. However, my school found it about it and I'm getting a ten day suspension. Will I need to report this to UM?</p>
<p>hmmm....I'd say probably not.</p>
<p>How confident are you?</p>
<p>lol...well....I never got a 10 day suspension in high school so I wouldn't know. But if you've already enrolled, I don't see how it would matter...or why UM would care.</p>
<p>Well, I don't think UM will care (do I have to send in a final transcript)? But I do think the LSA scholarship committee will care.</p>
<p>No...Doug Fletcher won't care. The only req. for maintaining your scholarship is a 3.5 and full time status. I wouldn't worry about it.</p>
<p>KB</p>
<p>Yeah!!! Are you serious, like do you know this guy or something?</p>
<p>Haha...smooth move man. Personally i dont think they should care because you have obviously worked hard in high school and you were just celebrating. Dont get caught again lol.</p>
<p>Yeah, it was stupid. A girl and I were just trying to buy a case of beer. We bought it and then somebody told on us. However, the bad part was that I decided to run (the second misdemeanor) and she tried committing suicide. Oh, and it happened at a quiz bowl competition and our coach is like the anti-drug/alcohol coordinator for the county.
If you want some more specifics, feel free to pm me.</p>
<p>For being so smart, Michigan students can be pretty dumb sometimes.</p>
<p>Oh, come on. Everybody at UM has drank underaged at some point. I know it was stupid to run, but it was just like a fight or flight response. I didn't even think about it. The details are pretty interesting if you want to pm me.</p>
<p><em>raises hand</em> I haven't had any alcohol. So I guess you're wrong about that one. Breaking the law tends to be a bad idea in general. But as my other posts indicate, I'm quite fond of the root beer.</p>
<p>Being an incomming frosh i am proud to say i have yet to either...well i guess proud is the wrong word....its just what it is...</p>
