<p>HI,</p>
<p>The common application, and any other application I am aware of only asks for convictions, not arrests.</p>
<p>Please reconsider in state schools (unless the outofstate is a bargain NY?). You dont want a lot of loans.</p>
<p>Read the FAFSA instructions carefully. I believe you are ineligible for federal money only if you have been convicted of the drug offense, but I may be wrong.</p>
