for accumulated concerns, no fighting, just not getting along with some
kids in the dorm. And singing too loud in the hallways. IGot my ****
together, though, and I wrote in the statements that I just learned to
be more considerate as I matured..</p>

<p>You seem way to cliche.</p>

<p>yellow journalism</p>

<p>You have definitely improved and have gotten your act straight. If you made a good case for yourself on your essays, you should have a good chance at all of these schools except MIT, Cornell, and Carnegie Mellon since they are really selective schools anyways. But, these are very difficult accusations the law has put on you. You should really make a good case for yourself!!! You must have put that you were irresponsible but you managed to get back on track. You have a stunning record in school, and there is no reason why you should not get into anyone of these schools unless you don’t assume responsibility for your actions in all the essays you wrote. </p>
