  1. So I'm in the process of finishing up my applications and I've become stuck in a bit of a moral quandary... A few applications have a question regarding whether I've been disciplined for student conduct violations, and if you select yes, you get a paragraph or so to explain yourself. When I was a freshman in undergrad, my friends and I got busted for smoking weed in the student dorms. I contacted my University and they confirmed that I currently have disciplinary actions on my record. However - and here's where it gets interesting - they told me that they only keep records for 7 years after the infraction. As it stands I have 2 months until my record is wiped clean. Unfortunately, my applications are due in about two weeks... So the question is, do I lie about my record, knowing that as long as they don't look it up during the application process there's no way I would be caught in the lie? I've done a little research online, and it seems like the chances of them putting forth the extra effort of requesting my records if I mark "no" is pretty low. I also feel like if I admit to my student conduct history it'll be a black mark on my application. So I'm looking for some pragmatic advice (please no moral shaming), and I'm also wondering if anyone's in the same situation as me. Any current/former grad students either lie about this and get away with it, or fess up to your sins and get into your program?
