Hi. I need help!! I attended Amherst college the year after high school, but I hated it there, and I hated my roommate 'cause s/he made me miserable. To make a long story short, I ended up bugging out and getting a "disciplinary suspension" on my transcript because I stole some of her things and gave them away. (I grew up really poor and I have a clepto thing about me, or at least I did). Anyway, they didn't actually suspend me until I told them I wanted to leave the school, but they said if I did, they were going to put the suspension on my transcript. Anyway, I left and the next year, I went to another top liberal arts school, where I've done pretty well (not stellar, but good enough that my guidance counselor thinks I'll get in). So, I need advice. I want to know how much of a background check they actually do on people. I want to hide the fact that I went to Amherst from AMCAS because I never did transfer credits (I withdrew from all my classes before finals). Do you think they'll check? Do you think they'll find out that I went there if I don't tell them? Also, if they do find out, what should I say? And if I tell them the truth, will I get into a single medical school? I obviously need a lot of help because I'm bugging a little. I just got the Amherst transcript, and "disciplinary suspension" is on it. Someone please give me some advice...
