Victim’s identities are usually protected.

If you were a victim of a crime, a police department has no right or reason to contact your college admissions office unless there is some unrevealed element of this incident that would necessitate a public health type warning.

I wonder if you, the victim, are in a mild state of shock & wrongly blaming yourself for being a crime victim. Try to talk about your experience with a trusted adult–such as your parents–so that you place this traumatizing event in a proper perspective.

I am sorry that you had a bad experience. Even though it was not your fault, it will take time to recover.
Many jurisdictions offer victim’s counseling services for free, in addition to victim’s advocate programs. If you were assigned a victim’s advocate, then contact him or her for consultation & for information about services available to you as a victim. (Usually victim’s of crimes of violence are offered free, confidential counseling through victim’s advocate programs.)

P.S. If you have strong feelings of anger and severe mood swings, then you need to get counseling as this may be a type of post traumatic stress syndrome.
