Top Law Schools

submitting. thanks!

I think you're good to go. It's to the point, which is what most schools prefer.

Of course it won't be an issue - you're (presumably) no longer underage.

You should delete that sentence. IMO, you should also do a little more to describe what happened - you don't want them to assume the worse. For example: was the probation for one instance of underage drinking, or more than one?

The issue with something like this is that it calls into doubt your ability or willingness to follow the rules - university rules, professional standards, laws, et cetera. You might say something to indicate you understand that, and to explain why that won't be an issue.

Of course, I doubt schools care about one citation for underage drinking, so this probably won't make any difference either way.

I'd also use campus residences instead of dorm, or maybe dormitory? Idk it just sounds a bit too casual

I would broaden your closing sentence to include all disciplinary measures, to tie it off. "I do not foresee this, or any other disciplinary actions, as being of issue in the future."

'residence hall' instead of 'dorm', id say.

Oh - perhaps vagueness is better then.

IMO, this is better overall.

I would change "the residence hall" to "a residence hall," change "error and consequence" to "lapses in judgment and their consequences," and delete the sentence after that.

If you choose not to delete the second to last sentence, you should rephrase it. Why, for example, is it all in the past tense - is that no longer the case?

thanks everyone.

The original version is better, in my opinion.
