Recently, I was caught smoking marijuana by campus security. I had to meet with my RA who put me on probation for six months. At the end of this six month period, assuming I don't get into any kind of trouble, I will be off probation and my permanent record at college will be clean. This entire event took place on my college campus and no outside authorities were notified.
My questions are whether a) I should declare this to medical schools even though it is not on either my permanent criminal record or my permanent school record and b) How will this event affect my chances of being admitted?
I do not want to lie on my application, but, if this will kill my chances, is it really worth bringing it up---especially given the fact that it would be impossible for medical schools to ever find out about this due to the fact that it is not on my permanent college file?
Thanks
