So, recently I obtained an acceptance to school X, for a Special Master's Program. Today I received news that they were considering rescinding my application due to a Dean's Disciplinary hearing from spring 2010, which resulting in "Conditional Probation" for two weeks. This was disclosed and explained directly on the application.
Basically, I had signed in a guest who was visiting to stay the night. I went out to go eat and I got a call from my RA, who told me to come back to my room. My friend had been told to leave because he doesn't live there and I was greeted by Public Safety (campus police) who told me to explain why my room smelled like marijuana. Of course, I had no idea what was going on and during my judicial hearing I made it clear that I wasn't there. Conditional probation is basically a warning period where you can't get in trouble, otherwise you get real probation. I disclosed this because I wanted to be honest.
The reason why I know this incident is why they might rescind my acceptance is because I have a family member with ties to the head of the admissions committee. Will I have a chance to get in anywhere? Do medical schools and professional programs really have such high standards as block out people who make mistakes freshman year?
