I just had my first meeting with my HPSP recruiter (I am applying for 2015 matriculation, so starting early!), and she seems to be a nice and knowledgeable person. She asked me if I have any criminal/law violations, and I truthfully answered "no"; I've never been arrested or cited or ticketed for anything in my life, so that part's easy.
However, I did receive a disciplinary probation (not related to anything legal - no police involvement) in college, and I am wondering if I should proactively tell my recruiter? If she asks about it anywhere in the application, I'll disclose it, but if she's not going to ask and the application doesn't care about disciplinary incidents, then I have no reason/obligation to disclose it, right?
I would greatly appreciate feedback from successful HPSP applicants. My stats (3.5+, 33) are competitive for the scholarship, and I don't want any nasty surprises along the way.
Thanks.
