^^^Good point. The application in question is the Common App, which is the only one that asks this question specifically at application time, on the midyear reports, and the final transcript:
Quote:
Have you ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at an educational institution you have attended from 9th grade (or the international equivalent) forward, whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct, that resulted in your probation, suspension, removal, dismissal, or expulsion from the institution? �� Yes �� No
Have you ever been convicted of a misdemeanor, felony, or other crime? �� Yes �� No
If you answered yes to either or both questions, please attach a separate sheet of paper that gives the approximate date of each incident and explains the circumstances.

The "No" answers were truthful at the time of application and midyear, but the above text does not imply an obligation she has assumed to immediately disclose future infractions. She will have to check the "Yes" box on the final transcript, we have not intention of hiding this, the question is all about how best to present it so that it is not only disclosed, but there is some substance behind the obligatory "I messed up" statement.
