In 2007, I was on my way back home and it was a rainy day. The vehicle in front of me slammed on it's brakes and when I did the car skid and rear ended it. Luckily no one was seriously injured and insurance information was traded. However, The police officer came and wrote me a ticket saying that it was my fault since I rear ended the car and according to him my tires were bald and it was my responsibility to check my tires every time I drive. Now the thing is that a couple days ago I realized that reckless driving due to a car accident is a 1st class misdemeanor in Virginia and supposedly is listed on your criminal record/ reported to NCIC (WTF seriously!?) I did not report this on my primary application (submitted in June) because I had absolutely no idea that traffic violations/accidents would make me a criminal. Now I have an interview and the schools I have interviews to did not ask me about misdemeanors on my secondary (submitted August) therefore I had no way to disclose this to them. What should I do now? 😕
1) Will this car accident and/or not reporting this incident on my primary application hinder my acceptance to medical school?
2) Should I mention this to the person interviewing me or should I email the school admissions letting them know about this?
