Minnesota
I'm filling out my college applications, and I'm being asked:
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence (felony, misdemeanor, juvenile offense, etc.)?
Here's my story:
Junior year (last year) I got caught smoking weed with a friend before school. But after getting in trouble with the school, I had to take a class at a local treatment center to lessen my suspension. This class caused my possession ticket to be waived or negated somehow (not sure of the details).
So my question is, does this count as being CONVICTED of a crime? Will it show on my record? Should I mark 'yes' or 'no' on the application?
I had recently turned 17 and was charged as a minor, and it was my first offense.
Will this come back to bite me if I mark 'no'?
