I've been accepted to my first choice and am planning on matriculating to that school. In the terms of acceptance, it states that I need to pass a background check and that any discrepancies between my application and the check could jeopardize my acceptance (after a chance to explain myself). I was given a written arrest for drinking underage in college, but there was nowhere on the primary or secondary application to list it that applied.
They ran the check almost a month ago and have not contacted me about it yet. I want to withdraw all of my other acceptances/waitlists, especially now that May 15th is about upon us, but I'm afraid that this will somehow lose my acceptance and then I'd be SOL at all the other schools too. Am I being paranoid and should just withdraw these applications or should I still hold onto these other acceptances (some of which did require me to disclose my arrest already, so obviously know about it)? I'm sure I could just call the school and ask if I "passed" the background check, but it just seems like an extremely awkward phone call.
