Goldman Background Check - school expulsion

I’ve been given an offer from Goldman. The background check asks if I’ve ever been expelled from a college program in the past 5 years. I was removed from the business program of my school in freshman year, but was able to transfer to another program within the same school. I have since graduated with a 3.4 GPA, and I have no criminal record or anything else incriminating. My question is if I admit to being expelled on the background check, does that pretty much mean I’m screwed and my offer will be rescinded? Thanks.

 

Being removed from a program is far different than expulsion - especially freshman year. If it's set up like my school, odds are it was a "pre-admittance" program for the school, as you were an "intended business" major.

I wouldn't mark it.
