The University of Florida Handbook gives another warning: "The cornerstone of the legal profession is truth. It starts with the application process. There is no excuse for falsifying any information on your law school application and if a law school uncovers any attempt to do so the consequences can be severe including the rescinding of an acceptance. As a rule of thumb I advise students that it is better to over-disclose than under-disclose. This goes for the alcohol violation as a freshmen to the judicial sanction for using the wrong type of extension cord in your residence hall room to any misdemeanor or felony offense. Just because it occurred when you were a freshmen does not mean it should not be disclosed. Many violations are not something that would prevent a student from being admitted to a law school; however, failure to disclose such violations would be. Therefore, when in doubt, disclose.
