[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The common app specifically asks  if you have ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at any educational institution you have attended from the ninth grade forward, including but not limited to probation, suspension, removal, dismissal or expulsion from the institution.

So if the intent is to answer honestly,[b] it should be disclosed.[/b][/quote]

How (wording)? [/quote]

I think there is a space to explain a positive answer. I would phrase it something along the line of “I made the stupidest mistake of my life. I am so ashamed/embarrassed. I was justly punished by my school. I have learned my lesson....”[/quote]

Yes--and if there isn't sufficient space in that location for explanation, in the Common App there's an "any additional information" section where you can explain situations more fully.  The advice I've seen is to not go on and on about the infraction (it then overshadows other things in application), but to be clear about accepting responsibility for his action and making change afterward.
