• Practice discussing what you have learned from your mistake. (On most college and graduate school applications you will be asked if you have ever been convicted of a crime or been expelled from school and asked to explain the circumstances.) You should be able to write thoughtfully about the incident, illustrating the ways you have matured since. It is essential not to blame others. Rather, acknowledge your own fault, your regret, and how you plan to avoid such mistakes going forward.
