Under the laws of all states in this country, criminal matters with respect to minors are sealed as a matter of law. As such, any juvenile criminal matter that you end up getting convicted of would not be subject to public disclosure and no college would know about it unless there is a motion filed with notice to you seeking to unseal your juvenile criminal matter.
I suggest that if you do not have a criminal defense attorney representing you in your matter you consult with one immediately.
