My daughter was recently caught shoplifting $40 worth of shampoos and other toiletries at a grocery store in Ohio. They told her it was a first misdemeanor. The police were called and they said she will have to pay a fine of $35 and will receive a letter in 30-60 days to appear in front of a juvenile court. This is her first offense and is very unlike her. She has a 4.14 GPA and is looking at UPenn, Rice and Columbia. For the section on the Common App that asks "have you ever been adjudicated of a misdemeanor...." will she have to check yes? even before she appears before juvenile court? Will this case be sealed since she is underage? (17 years old, turns 18 in january, after the ED deadline)
(no need for anything critical, please, I have already dealt with this all myself)
