I got into an unfortunate situation months ago where I got arrested for a misdemeanor, but I will be able to remove the conviction from my record next month. However, my arrest will still be on my record. I won't be applying for grad school until October 2016 next year and I am aiming to get into Samuel Merritt school of physical therapy.
Will I need to disclose my arrest to the school during my background check even though my record is free of convictions?
If so, how much would it affect my chances of getting into the school?
AND also, my lawyer told me that there is a possibility to get the arrest EXPUNGED since this IS my very first arrest. I have NO priors. If it is expunged, I wouldn't have to disclose anything, correct?
If an arrest is expunged, absolutely no one is going to see the arrest on my record, right?
