It's hard to say, really. I doubt the W's will matter. DUI is a concern though. Just write a convincing C&F statement and blanket the T-14. I'm interested to see how your cycle turns out. Good luck! Don't drive drunk, dumbass

It will probably hurt you are schools you are borderline at. Probably won't matter otherwise.

Appreciate it. Definitely an egregious lapse in judgement that I intend to never repeat. I am at/above all medians and for some schools I am allowed per the question to omit one of the infractions. Though this was a remarkable error, my hope is that other resume factors will rebound me. Is that a fair assumption, or is such a mistake more of a blanket deficiency regardless of context?

It's really too hard to tell because your situation is so unique. We'll just have to play it out and see what YS* think.

*I'm presuming you meant H will not require you to disclose the DUI since it was dismissed, and that is correct.

Wasn't there a C&F thread? It also might not hurt to hire a consulting service just for this addendum...just a thought
