Underage drinking and admission to UW Madison business school?

[Jim]

If you got an underage drinking ticket would the admissions board for the Wisconsin School of Business 1) Even look at your civic court record and realize that you got the ticket and 2) allow it to affect your admission status?

If they ask for you to disclose such things, you HAVE TO disclose it.

It won't be a big issue, they recognize that this kind of thing happens. You could write an addendum to your application noting how you've grown since then, etc. But the bottom line is that it will barely be a factor; some admissions officers could see it as a positive if you note how you've grown since then in an addendum.
