So on a few secondaries where they ask "have you been charged with a misdemeanor" I stated no, and I just found out that my misdemeanor that was taken to court and dismissed still counted as a "charge" but not a "conviction".
I got an underage possession of alcohol a long time ago and I took it to court, got supervision, and the case was dismissed. My attorney said after the procedure that the case was dismissed and I was not convicted. I thought this also meant that there would be no "charge", but I guess I was wrong. I'm currently in the process of getting my record expunge, hopefully before January first before AMCAS does background checks.
The question is, since I contacted all school's who's secondaries ask "Have you been charged" with a misdemeanor and told them that I made a mistake, am I pretty much screwed with these schools, or will they appreciate me reaching out to notify them?
