I have been accepted to IU and I want to send an update letter to them before they do a background check and look at my final transcripts. For IU, we have to sign a legal disclosure form saying the following:
. ever been arrested for, convicted of, or pled guilty or no contest to a felony, misdemeanor, or any offense other than a minor traffic violation (unless the conviction was expunged by a court);
. any criminal charges pending against them;
. ever participated in a first offender, deferred adjudication or pretrial diversion, or other program or arrangement where judgment or conviction has been withheld.
. ever been refused admission or subject to any disciplinary action (e.g. threatened or actual dismissal, expulsion, or probation) at any previous school;
. ever engaged in any behavior that resulted in serious injury to any person(s) or personal property.
(These are all taken from the legal disclosure form and I just copy and pasted it on here)
I signed it not thinking I had anything substantial on my record. Now looking back, I feel like I should have disclosed my suspended license due to two traffic violations within a year. I also did get a ticket for skateboarding on private property back when I was fifteen, but I believe that once you turn eighteen in Illinois, that gets wiped from your record. Because I tend to worry a lot about these things and wanting to make sure I retain my acceptance, I have decided to send an update on this before they do a background check.
Lastly, I have gone from thirteen credit hours this semester down to six without updating my AMCAS. That is all I needed to graduate as this is my fifth year technically. I am including this as well and hoping it doesn't affect me at all.
Should I have anything to worry? I would be upset if something that I misunderstood early on in the process to take away my acceptance because I was not upfront with admissions. Any and all advice will be great! Thanks guys!
