Members don't see this ad.

I have DUI record back in year 2002 when I was 21. It's all cleared now, and I'm not on probation. How detail should I write on the application??
Anyone have idea?? Also,
how bad will this affect to your application??
Thank you for help in advance.

What do you mean "all cleared now"? Probably not ex-sponged or sealed, but more likely they deferred adjudication and you went probation. How does the prompt read on adsas?

What they usually need to know is the date, location, and circumstances of what occurred. Try to paint yourself in the best light (like somehow wrong place wrong time) but it ultimately is still a blemish on the application. As for how it effects your standing, I know for a fact that if a school wants you, they won't let a crime keep you out, especially if you are a one time offender. Hopefully, your grades and other stats will overshadow the bad parts...
