Please be aware that many college applications will ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime. Any offense under VTL § 1192 (other than DWAI 1192-1) is a misdemeanor (or felony for repeat offenses) offense. Consequently, you would need to check “yes” if an application asks if you have ever been convicted of a crime. This should not serve as a bar to admission, just something to be cognizant of.
