Will an expulsion influence my chances enrolling to Business School?

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>A few years ago, I was expelled from college. Since the expulsion, I was admitted to another university that same year. I later earned my bachelor's degree in finance. Now, I am at the point where I want to attend graduate school. However, I still have the expulsion lingering over my head.</p>

<p>According to the policies of the first university I attended, transcripts NEVER mentions a student's dismissal. Undergraduates and graduates applications do ask candidates if they were dismiss from school. Knowing that my transcript will not mention my expulsion, should I purposely ignore this question? Should I contact the graduate school to explain my situation? I do not want to jeopardize my chances of attending a graduate school. I was able to move on and complete my education. I do not want a mistake in the past hinder me from pursuing a higher education.</p>

<p>You can’t ignore the question; you were an adult when you decided to take the steps (cheating, etc.) that led to your expulsion. And even if you decide to neglect to answer the question, the graduate program could easily call your first institution and inquire as to your leaving.</p>
