Prospective UAG applicant here. I have research, volunteering, and shadowing experience with LORs from each. 2.9 GPA, taking the MCAT soon, hope to matriculate in January 2014.
During my junior year in college I was caught shoplifting from the on-campus convenience store. It was a stupid mistake and I took full responsibility for my actions. I was charged with a shoplifting misdemeanor, but the judge lowered it to a noise infraction so my criminal record is clean. It may not even appear on my background check (didn't come up when I applied for SENTRI). I plan on disclosing this and being completely honest with my application to UAG about this.
Could this possibly keep me out? Any protips on how to go about this?
