Reapplicant here preparing to apply within the following couple of months...
Do schools keep the application that I submitted last cycle?
I had an academic dishonesty violation during my freshman year, and I did mention that in my application last year. This year however, it's been five years since the incident, so according to school policy, my school has completely cleared the academic dishonesty report under my name. Should I still mention the academic dishonesty in my application this year? I feel that if my school doesn't keep the academic dishonesty report anymore, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to mention it.... thoughts and comments appreciated.

I think the only way to know for sure is to call up the schools to ask without being too specific. But I do know some school keep a record of who applied and why they were rejected which is why you can call them up afterwards and ask how to improve your application for next time.

Best thing to do is to apply to schools you havent before.

If you submitted an application to the school last cycle, they would still have it on record.

Some do keep them, so do not. Check out the school's site/call.
