For tickets, do you put all of the tickets you've ever received or just the ones on your driving record? I have a couple that aren't on my record anymore and I have no info on them. I guess I could ballpark the dates?
I think the app specifies convert to a 4.0 scale. If it doesn't, I'd do it anyway and then include both in the comments.
For the tickets, put them all down. You may think they don't know and can't find out, but is the reward of them not knowing about a ticket a couple decades ago that they will not care about in the first place greater than the automatic guarantee of being pulled out of class and fired if they somehow do find out about it really worth it on the risk:reward scale?
Besides, and its amazing how many people don't completely get this, they will find negatives for you and you will have to resolve them. If you come to them perfect, they will then find something on their terms. Its far better to be honest and own up to your mistakes that you knew about all along and then explain them on your terms.
They love love love love honesty. Even more so than someone who didn't get any tickets in their 20's.
