How do law schools view certain crimes on the character and fitness portion of the application? For example, i was cited for drinking underage twice.

I think admissions view underage drinking as a strong soft. Means you are more likely to be a bro. Bro = strong soft.

i've heard of interviews where applicants were asked why they didn't have underage citations

That seems ridiculous.
Simple answer: we never got caught.

LS admissions cares about crimes to the extent that they effect your ability to get admitted to the bar. Maybe a school like BYU is different, but otherwise they really don't care. Underage drinking citations will have zero negative impact on your application. Just be honest and write the applicable addendum.
