Schools that ask about anything other than traffic violations?

[Veritas79]

Could anyone with certainty post the names of schools that ask that all-encompassing question about crimes or criminal offenses other than minor motor vehicle violations on their secondaries? Perhaps people who have already applied last year? I have a disorderly conduct conviction that is classified as a violation (in my state, NY), but I rather not speak of it. It doesn't matter if the application asks about misdemeanors since I won't be technically lying. I'm more interested in knowing about schools that asks the blanket statement so I could save my $$ by not applying to them through AMCAS. I already know of two for certain by looking at their secondaries for last year's applicants, online:

1) Dartmouth - "Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense other than minor motor vehicle violations?"

2) AECOM - "Have you ever been convicted of a crime other than a minor traffic violation?"

Thanks in advance

Not on the secondary

University of Vermont asks about the traffic violation that occured within few years on their secondary.

I wouldn't use it as a guide to rule out which medical schools to apply to. For example, Einstein is pretty progressive and would probably accept a decent explanation for any non-violent offense.

I'd say apply, and then get ready to have a REALLY good explanation of what "disorderly conduct" is, and how you've matured, learned, etc. from your experience. Any school that asks will then provide a space for you to explain the conviction.
