Don't even think of applying for GE unless you have an absolutely clean record for your entire life. If you don't, then you will forfeit $100. I was denied because of a minor traffic violation. It was like flushing the $ down the toilet.
Given my driving record (quite a few minor traffic violations over the years including one luckily-only-a-violation careless driving back in the 1990s) I doubt it was that simple; failure to declare (although my recollection was that they only asked for misdemeanor or worse) might cover it.
