Hello all,
I am applying soon and wanted to get something straight about a violation when I was younger. I was in a self-defense fight when I was 15 at school and charged with an infraction for disturbing the peace. My school had a no fighting tolerance and the guy that started the fight got a worse punishment. This infraction was consequently dismissed after doing community service etc. There was no trial--just a probationary period.
I am currently 23 and have no other criminal issues. I know AMCAS and AACOMAS want to know about anything from misdemeanor and up...should an infraction as a minor be reported? In my knowledge, it is no worse than a traffic ticket. My pre-med advisor said I should not report it, however, I want to make sure.
Thanks all.
