It depends on the offense, but the consensus is that a C&F issue will affect your applications marginally, if at all. T14s can be more choosy, and are therefore more likely to factor in a disciplinary record, but as long as it's nothing serious (violent crime, academic dishonesty, etc), it shouldn't affect your cycle.

T14s can be more choosy, and are therefore more likely to factor in a disciplinary record, but as long as it's nothing serious and you fully disclose (violent crime, academic dishonesty, etc), it shouldn't affect your cycle.
