Hi all, I’ve been filling out applications for the 2022 cycle, and a few schools ask about academic or behavioral disciplinary history from undergrad. I tracked down my file from undergrad and I have three minor infractions: 1) possession of alcohol in a dorm 2) two instances of being excessively loud after 1am in the residence halls. My censures for these infractions were minor (90 minute course on the dangers of alcohol abuse for the first, a warning for the second, and I had to create a 5 slide presentation on the impact of noise on my “community” for the third). My concern is this: do AdC ..read more

In only a few weeks, I have made a few connections with the top economics professors at our university and feel that letters of recommendations from them will not be too hard to get. I am very motiv ..read more
