Exactly what do secondary applications ask you to disclose about your background

Hello,

I am trying to figure out if secondary applications will ask me to disclose my infractions. Someone told me they only ask for misdemeanors and felonies. Can someone show me the exact prompt from the secondaries so I can deduce exactly what they want me to disclose?

Thanks

The first post in almost all of those threads is the prompt. Yes, they only ask for misdemeanors and felonies (and institutional action).

The primary application asks for misdemeanor and felony convictions as well as institutional actions. All schools you apply to will see this information. Many secondaries have similar questions as well. If you are talking about civil infractions (not misdemeanors), it depends on the school. Anecdotal, but I only had one secondary that asked for more than felonies + misdemeanors. If you are talking about university infractions that led to disciplinary action, you will have to report those on the primary.

ETA: I just read your other thread about the infraction, and wanted to add that you have no reason to stress about this. Even if a school does ask you to report it, you're not going to be rejected because you forgot your bus pass and got a ticket.
