Okay so heres the deal. Last semester I got in trouble for an alcohol violation at my current college. My sanction was a warning and I had to complete an alcohol survey. On the Common Application it specifically ask if you have ever been placed on probation, suspended, or expelled from the school. I have not so I put no. I gave the Dean of Students the College Officials Report and later emailed her and asked if my warning would be reported as it the form ask if the student has ever been placed on probation, suspended, or expelled. She told me that she was going to report it.

I feel like this is really unfair and could impact a lot of my transfer acceptances as I have otherwise strong stats. I recognize that I made a mistake in drinking underage, but do not think that it should be reported as I never faced any of the sanctions that the colleges asked about (probation, suspension, expulsion)

What should I do? Will this hold weight in my decisions?
