Q&A: Criminal History and Job Application

Question:

A university masters program application is asking if I had any charges brought on me in last 24 months. Do I answer yes or no?  I was charged and sentenced for a felony six undesignated in Arizona for Facilitation to Transport Marijuana on 3/16/2012. Should I legally answer yes or no on the Masters entrance application. If yes, how should I describe the details? The application is important because if I say yes they may not accept me.
Answer:
You should never lie about your criminal history on any application. It can have unforeseen consequences. Better to be truthful and hope for the best. Good luck!
