A couple weeks ago I received a ticket for reckless driving by speed in Virginia, which is a misdemeanor. I've spoken to a lawyer who says that since my speed was less than 20 over the speed limit (anything over 80, regardless of posted speed limit, is reckless driving in Virginia) and I have an otherwise clean driving record the charge will almost certainly be reduced to a regular speeding ticket.
My point of concern is that I was offered an acceptance this weekend, and after reading the admissions agreement I'm not sure if I have to report it or not. This is what it says:
"I further understand that I am required to report, within 5 business days, any arrests, fines, charges (pending and/or dropped), or convictions that may occur from the date of my signature on this document. Such report should be submitted to the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs."
Does this mean I only need to report charges that are incurred after I sign the form? And I would only need to make a report if I'm ultimately found guilty of a misdemeanor? Or does it include anything pending at the time of signing?
