<p>In Virginia Reckless Driving is a Class 1 Misdemeanor… my Freshmen year of college I was driving back to Virginia Tech from home and was going 87 in a 65… How will a reckless driving charge affect and otherwise good application for medical school? I mean nearly all A’s and good MCATs? Although it seems like a stupid charge in Virginia they like to make speeding as bad as a DUI or other serious crimes.</p>
