In my freshman year of college, I made a post online directed as a joking matter toward a friend of mine. However, a girl down the hall from me perceived the post to be directed toward her, and since she was not in on the "inside joke," believed it to be a hurtful/threatening post I made against her. Because of this, I was charged as violating my school's student code of conduct for 1. Bullying and 2. Harrassment/threat. The situation resolved itself quickly after the girl and I talked it over and decided it was a huge misunderstanding, and to this day we remain good friends. This charge still remains on my disciplinary record though and I'm wondering how much this would impact my application.
I have a high GPA, volunteer hours, research lab experience, I work as a tutor, I've studied abroad, I'm involved in medical groups on campus and I have a lot of clinical experience.
I'm worried this blip in my record will affect my chances of getting into med school, because if this completely ruins my chances, I don't want to spend a ton of money on the MCAT and applications.
